Viergever joins Feyenoord as part of the Boëtius deal

As soon as Jean-Paul Boetius got presented as an Ajax player, it got leaked to the press that Nick Viegever was going the other way as a part of the deal. This is a huge signing for Feyenoord as Nick is only 25 years old and is bossing it in the defence. He is a real leader-type of player and is exactly the kind of player Feyenoord needs.

This is what Viergever said when getting presented as a Feyenoord-player earlier this week.

“I am very happy with joining such a good club as Feyenoord. I look at this as a step
up for my career, as this is the club where I think I will develop the most.”

"As a player you grow a lot, in a personal and football sense.

"In the latter aspect you learn a lot from being surrounded by top level players.

"With Ajax I won the Eredivise and that was an unforgettable experience, and an experience I hope I can repeat in a Feyenoord shirt."

Ajax and Feyenoord. Romance or rivalry?

Ajax and Feyenoord are two huge clubs located in Holland. Success in the early years of Dutch football served to create the rivalry between the two clubs, with many league titles and KNVB Cup's being shared between Amsterdam and Rotterdam's flagship clubs.
To date, Ajax are Holland's most successful club ever with 33 Eredivisie titles, more than double the 14 that Feyenoord have to their name. Ajax have also enjoyed far more success on the European stage than any of their domestic counterparts with four European Cup wins compared to just one of Feyenoord (and PSV).




The rivalry between the two clubs can also be seen as a rivalry between Holland's two biggest city's. These games are not only a footballing clash but also one of different cultures and attitudes.
Rotterdam is the industrial heartland of Holland, with one of Europe's biggest ports. Feyenoord is the club of the working man.
Amsterdam, on the other hand, is seen as a cultural city for tourists. People from Rotterdam see Amsterdam as arrogant and lazy.
There is a famous quote from Sparta Rotterdam fan Jules Deelder which can perhaps explain the way Amsterdam is viewed, "Holland's money is earned in Rotterdam, divided in The Hague, and flushed down the toilet in Amsterdam."
Such differences in attitudes between the cities and fans has invariably led to a fractious relationship between fans. In 2004 during a reserve team match between Ajax and Feyenoord, a player for the Rotterdam club, Jorge Acuna, was taken to hospital after being attacked by an Ajax "firm." However, the most infamous incident must be the Beverwijkincident.

Rival fans came to conflict in the town of Beverwijk near Amsterdam in 1997. Many were injured and one Ajax fan was even killed. Such incidents have acted as the catalyst for some of the most innovative policing methods for football matches in Europe. Violence between fans has reduced as the police have tried to escort fans from buses and trains to the stadiums and match days when the two teams meet.
The Klassieker is yet another example of a match which transcends the definition of ordinary footballing rivalries. This time however, it is not politics and religion which interfere but culture and attitude.

Ajax are seen as arrogant, and as long as Feyenoord and their fans continue to try and bring them down this will continue to be a great rivalry.

I think its mere jealousy, Feyernoord constantly living in Ajax' shadow

Taking a break!
