Feyenoord made up this week the website the transfer of Thomas van den Belt known. The midfielder will make the switch from PEC Zwolle to Feyenoord in the new season.
Arne Slot was asked on Friday afternoon if he could tell us something about this transfer. The Feyenoord trainer is happy with the arrival of Van den Belt to Feyenoord. “I think the statistics show enough,” said Slot during the press conference that was broadcast on the YouTube page of Feyenoord. “Let the clubs that really wanted him in the winter break also see enough. Almost all the clubs around us wanted him.’
Slot knows what his qualities are. That is what the trainer of the leader of the Eredivisie calls the insight and awareness of the spaces. “Constantly scanning, knowing where the pressure is coming from.” Slot is asked whether you can compare Van den Belt’s purchase with that of Mats Wieffer. “I do think it’s the same type of purchase. If you had asked me eight or nine months ago, you would have expected that from Mats so soon I would have said no. It would be quick to put this stamp on Thomas right away. This also fits in with Feyenoord’s new policy. As long as I’m here, we just have to look at players who are less expensive and who don’t cost the huge transfer fees. Then we try to look for players who are slightly less expensive, but who do have quality.’
