NOS's Blunder Exposed
The NOS Studio Sport Voetbal broadcast on Friday evening completely overlooked the transfer of Leo Sauer to VfB Stuttgart, worth 15 million euros. This is one of the biggest deals of the summer, yet the NOS failed to include it in their list of key transfers. In contrast, they did list the transfers of In-beom Hwang, Timon Wellenreuther, Calvin Stengs, and Gernot Trauner, which collectively brought in 5.5 million euros.
Feyenoord's Perspective
Feyenoord's technical director, Devy Rigaux, confirmed the transfer of Leo Sauer to VfB Stuttgart for 15 million euros. This has left many Feyenoord supporters questioning the NOS's attention to detail and wondering why other transfers, such as Ramiz Zerrouki (FC Twente) and Gjivai Zechiël, were not mentioned.
Context and Consequences
Leo Sauer played 29 times for Feyenoord last season, making him one of the most active players in the team. The transfer of Sauer is one of the biggest deals in Feyenoord's history, with only nine players being sold for more money. These players include Rick Karsdorp, Dirk Kuijt, Lutsharel Geertruida, Antoni Milambo, Luis Sinisterra, Orkun Kökçü, Mats Wieffer, Dávid Hancko, and Santiago Giménez. The NOS's blunder has left a sour taste in the mouths of Feyenoord supporters, raising questions about their attention to detail and commitment to covering the latest football news.
