Feyenoord's chances in the match have been downplayed by Van der Gijp, who believes the team has only one standout player. This player is Nico Paz, an Argentinian midfielder who was signed from Real Madrid for €66 million in 2024. Paz made a significant impact at the World Cup last summer, making minutes for Argentina.
Van der Gijp's warning is backed up by Wim Kieft, who has commented on Como's impressive form. "You don't know what you're seeing," Kieft said, highlighting the Italian club's strength. Como is currently third in the Serie A and has already beaten RB Leipzig 4-1 this season, with Paz providing two assists in the match.
The Italian club will visit the Kuip on Wednesday, 14 October, and Feyenoord will need to be at their best to take on the formidable opponents.
