Feyenoord's Big Ambitions in Youth League

Feyenoord has big ambitions in the Youth League after a flying start, according to coach Jimmy Lucassen (VoetbalPrimeur, confirmed). The team has a perfect start in the competition.

Feyenoord has won both matches against FC Barcelona and Como 1907 in the 'mini-Champions League', and coach Lucassen is confident that the team can go as far as possible in the Youth League. "We want to go as far as possible in the Youth League," Lucassen said in an interview with Feyenoord One. "What is ultimately realistic? That will depend on who we play against and which players we have available at the time, but ultimately we dare to dream big."

The team's success is not just due to their skills on the pitch, but also to the adaptability of their players. Against FC Barcelona, Feyenoord won 1-2, thanks to a goal from Jerayno Schaken, who was able to join the team despite the match being moved due to weather conditions. Coach Lucassen had to make some tough decisions, including leaving some players on the bench. "Those are tough conversations, because when you get on the plane, it's almost 99% certain that you'll start the match," Lucassen said. "It's not easy to tell them that, but it's something they need to deal with."

Feyenoord is currently third in the Youth League, with a perfect start and a tough schedule ahead, including matches against Slavia Praag and Real Madrid.
