Giovanni van Bronckhorst, coach of Feyenoord, appointed Givairo Read as captain for the friendly match against Rayo Vallecano last Sunday. This decision was made as the team was looking for a new captain after Timon Wellenreuther, the previous captain, left the club. Van Bronckhorst said this is an important choice for the future and he wants to take time to think carefully before making a final decision.
"It's an important decision for the future. I want to take some time to consider. Givairo being named captain now has some significance, but I feel it's still too early for Tjark (Ernst) to be captain in his first match at De Kuip," said Van Bronckhorst. The coach stressed that he will make his final choice on captain before the Eredivisie season begins.
Normally, Van Bronckhorst often hands over the captaincy to a goalkeeper during the preparation period. He led Feyenoord to victory in 2017 and was asked if he could repeat that feat ten years later. Van Bronckhorst responded that the opportunity still exists, but also emphasized that the task is not easy. "The opportunity is always there. We believe in it. Of course, talking about it is easy, but doing it comes from meetings, training sessions and conversations," he added.
With Feyenoord's squad being adjusted and changed, Read's appointment could be an important step in the process of rebuilding the team ahead of the new season. The friendly match with Rayo Vallecano is not only an opportunity to test the squad but also an opportunity for Van Bronckhorst to evaluate the leadership abilities of the players on the team.
What happens next
Giovanni van Bronckhorst is expected to make a final decision on captain before the Eredivisie season begins. This choice not only affects Givairo Read but also the entire team, as they aim to compete in the new season.
