Sparta Rotterdam manager Rogier Meijer reacts to Feyenoord defeat

Sparta Rotterdam manager Rogier Meijer reflected on his team's recent match against Feyenoord, acknowledging that Feyenoord deserved the victory despite Sparta's late-game efforts.

Meijer noted that Sparta struggled initially against Feyenoord's dynamic ball movement and difficulty in defending their midfield pressure. He observed that the team found more success in the final stages of the match by adopting a more direct playing style involving long balls.

Meijer also commented on a disallowed goal in stoppage time following a foul by Zonneveld, stating, "It is very light, I think. Half gives it to him and half does not. Today we were on the wrong side."
