Julio Cruz, who played for Feyenoord between 1997 and 2000, won the Eredivisie title and Johan Cruijff Schaal with the Rotterdam club. He later became a fan favourite at Inter, where he played for several years. Despite his affection for Feyenoord, Cruz has no doubts about who he will be supporting on Tuesday night. "Inter, there's no doubt about it," he said.
Cruz also praised Feyenoord's current form, saying that they have been in excellent shape after beating Como. However, he believes that Inter must win in Rotterdam to stay in contention. "Feyenoord is at home in excellent form, but Inter must win in Rotterdam. They need the points," Cruz stated.
Cruz also spoke highly of Feyenoord's coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst, with whom he played and won several titles together. "He speaks very good Spanish. We won the Eredivisie title and Johan Cruijff Schaal together at Feyenoord. We also shared some great moments off the pitch. He's a smart guy with a huge fire inside," Cruz said.
Cruz's comments are likely to be of interest to fans of both clubs ahead of the highly anticipated match.
