Feyenoord midfielder Luciano Valente notes improved team intensity

Feyenoord midfielder Luciano Valente has expressed satisfaction with the club's start to the season, noting a significant improvement in the team's physical intensity. Speaking on the ‘Geluid van Zuid’ podcast, the 22-year-old stated that the team no longer suffers from the energy depletion that previously drew criticism during the final stages of matches.

Valente, who recently transitioned from Groningen to become a starter and captain for the Rotterdam-based club, noted that the team is finding its rhythm despite a demanding schedule. Feyenoord currently sits in second place, trailing leaders AZ by two points after seven rounds of play. Valente emphasized that while the team aims for more points, they are currently delivering the high-quality football that supporters expect.
