Luciano Valente performance and tactical role at Feyenoord

Overview

Feyenoord midfielder Luciano Valente has highlighted an improvement in the team’s physical intensity, noting that the squad no longer suffers from the “energy depletion” that had previously drawn criticism. Following his transition from Groningen to a starting role and captaincy at the Rotterdam-based club, Valente reported that the team is finding its rhythm and delivering high-quality football during the early stages of the season.

However, football analysts have raised concerns regarding Valente’s tactical positioning. While he currently operates as a “hanging left winger,” experts suggest this role may negatively impact his prospects with the Netherlands national team. Discussions on ESPN’s Voetbalpraat indicated that while the position allows for individual freedom, a shift toward a “second ‘number ten’ role” might better suit his playing style and align more closely with national team requirements.
