Joël Drommel has no good news for Feyenoord
1 min readThe future of Joël Drommel still appears to be open for the time being. The goalkeeper of PSV, who last season played on loan for Sparta Rotterdam, does not rule out leaving the Netherlands and is looking with interest at opportunities abroad.
Meanwhile, his name is also mentioned at Feyenoord. According to earlier reporting by ESPN the Rotterdam club closely follows the situation of the 29-year-old goalkeeper. Feyenoord would be looking at possible reinforcements under the bar, partly due to the uncertainty surrounding Timon Wellenreuther.
Ram can look back on a strong season with Sparta. After a difficult start, he managed to fight his way back and grew into one of the important players within the squad. He is also satisfied with his contribution. “You could say that I have won many points for the club this season,” he says in an interview with the Algemeen Dagblad.
The goalkeeper looks back on his difficult start as an important learning moment. “Maybe it had to be this way. Get deep into the pit for a while and then slowly climb back up with the ladder,” said Drommel.
In addition, he emphasizes that he is not led by opinions from outside. “You should never let yourself be driven crazy by what people write about you. Listen to the people who are close to you,” he says.
As for his future, Drommel keeps all options open. He realizes that the chance of a starting spot at PSV is limited, but he does not rule out a return to Eindhoven. “If nothing comes my way by then, I’ll just sign up in Eindhoven,” he says.
Still, a step towards abroad calls. Especially the major European leagues appeal to him. “If you’re allowed to dream, then of course Spain, Italy, England or Germany. I hope a nice club comes along where I can continue at this level.”

ngl i think the rotation plan is risky. If the article is right about giving minutes, make sure the striker still presses like a 9, not like a spectator, otherwise it kills the whole system 🔥
🔥🔥🔥 Eens, thats the kind of performance that gets you dreaming. If they tighten up the defending around the box, this season can get real special. 👀
"PSV are finding pockets behind the lines" is true, but the finishing is what decides everything. If we dont get at least one big chance in the first 20 minutes, it turns into stress at the end... no cap ⚽
Gotta say, the quote about being "aggressive" sounds nice, but against better pressing you cant be reckless. make it controlled aggression, otherwise it turns into a counter-attack picnic for the opponent. 🤬
I thought the key point was the change in player roles, especially the winger cutting inside more. That could be a real weapon, but only if the fullback overlaps with conviction, otherwise the space is wasted 💯
ngl, I watched the pressing and it was inconsistent. Sometimes PSV swarm, then they drop 10 meters and lose the duel right away. Klopp-level intensity would fix that.
Bro, if we keep defending like that, we will get punished again. That line being stepped up late is a recipe for a goal, dont @ me 😂
Imo the quote about patience is nice, but patience without penetration is just slow football. We need more direct runs between the lines, not only recycling passes.
That chance creation from the right side was a banger. If they keep forcing the ball wide and getting cutbacks, teams will crack. 🔥
The article saying our pressing triggers are working makes sense, but i saw too many times the midfield got bypassed after the first wave. Timber and Schouten have to stay braver on the second ball, otherwise we invite counters 👀
"Set the tempo early" is the right message, but PSV sometimes overdo the first 20 minutes. We should keep the ball under control when the crowd noise peaks, otherwise the transition defence gets tested again 👀
"PSV Inside" really nailed the point about the tempo. When they play it faster, De Jong and the wingers look 2 steps ahead, and the whole team suddenly has intent. ❤️⚽
"PSV Inside" really nailed the point about the transitions. Cody Gakpo needs to be more direct, less touching it for everyone to be back behind the ball. go for the early pass, thats where the danger is.
The midfield balance is the big thing for me. when they press well it turns into a quick goal, but when the press slips, the spacing gets exposed fast. I think Van Nistelrooy needs the 6 to be braver on the ball.
Idk why people are defending that defensive line. When the fullbacks step up, the space behind is instant danger, fr. That has to be coached better.
bruh, calling the back line "stable" is cap. The moment the opponent shifts wide, PSV start walking into second balls and then its scramble mode 💀
I liked what the article says about the winger cutting inside more often, it makes the double-up press easier to break. But if Zahavi or Veerman arent getting on the end of those crosses, its gonna feel like mid chances only 🤡
If this is really about turning the game around with quick buildup, im glad we are pushing the tempo. But still, we need more end product from the final third, otherwise it becomes pretty football with no bite 🔥
If PSV are serious about winning the league, they cannot keep letting transitions turn into open fields for the opponent. Tonight's setup looked a bit too passive to me, especially in midfield.
That bit about the midfield pressing is spot on, if they can sustain it for 70+ minutes we bully teams. Still, i worry when it gets long, because we leave space behind the fullbacks too often 🔥⚽
