Feyenoord draws against Liverpool 1-1

Porto won the Port of Rotterdam Tournament, beating their Chinese opponent 3-0 but who really cares? The Legion saw their faves play CL finalist Liverpool and Feyenoord did well. Playing in their coach Van Marwijk’s fave starting line-up, although there’s a fair chance Drenthe will move to another club in the next weeks. Van Marwijk: “It’s hard to keep him. He was always seen as one of the building blocks for Feyenoord and the idea was to bring him carefully to the front. But after the U21 tournament every club in Europe went berserk. To be honest, if one of the clubs (Real Madrid or Chelsea) ups their bid we will seriously think about taking the money.”

And it was Drenthe who opened the score against Liverpool after a brilliant attack. Jonathan De Guzman passed superbly to the speedy Slory who hit the post. Drenthe finished off the rebound. Feyenoord played well, but was pretty vulnerable with Hofland being absent (little injury). Van Marwijk would really like to make to more signings to get his team in balance. At the back, there is no real alternative for Vlaar and Hofland and Roy Makaay is the lonesome cowboy up front. Kuyt worked his arse off as usual and hit the crossbar. Steve Gerrard equalized after an assist by Ryan Babel who came on the pitch in the second half. At the end of the match, Luigi Bruins was allowed a penalty kick, but like Roy Makaay earlier, Luigi missed!

The Legion couldn’t care less. They saw a strong and confident Feyenoord and Rotterdam can’t wait for the competition to start!
