Big disappointment in Feyenoord following the dramatic loss tonight (Sunday) 3: 2 in the classic against Ajax. The guest led twice against the champion and the leader of the table, but the team from the Dutch capital managed to come back twice and achieve the turnaround, while Ophir Marciano was part of two of the three goals scored by his team. The Israeli goalkeeper headed badly in the 24th minute, straight to Sebastian Haller who scored easily and equalized after the lead goal by Luis Sinistra (8), and in the 78th minute he missed a free kick from the right of Dusan Tadic and surrendered again.
Feyenoord coach Arena Slott referred to Marciano at the end of the match, and spared no words: “Tadic’s goal should not have happened, Ophir himself is disappointed. It is the result of the cuts we had to make in the summer. With Justin Beilo we have the best goalkeeper in the Netherlands, when we “With Ofir, we are the number one goalkeeper in Israel. We have a goalkeeper who is good enough to play for Feyenoord, he is not at the level of Beilo.”
Slut reserved his words and tried to defend Marciano a bit: “He had an excellent game in the previous round. I need to see the first goal again, they may have interfered with his field of vision, but it makes sense that this was due to it.”
In addition, harsher words were heard throughout the network against the Israeli national team goalkeeper, when a Twitter account associated with Feyenoord tweeted: “Ophir Marciano is a mediocre replacement for Bilu. I am afraid that ending our season with him as our goalkeeper is going to be difficult.” Harder responses read: “I do not want to see him in Feinenard’s shirt anymore. Not a goalkeeper! What an insult,” and also “Ophir Marciano is the worst goalkeeper I have seen wearing our shirt.”
