Feyenoord beat FC Dordrecht 6-0 in the first match of the pre-season. Despite the absence of several World Cup players, drafts emerged of a new formation led by Giovanni van Frankhorst; "I don't know if it's the best eleven, but the coach's plan was clear," said Kwiro Reid.
Rotterdam club Feyenoord got their pre-season off to a flying start with a 6-0 win over FC Dordrecht. Beginning of July; The World Cup is still heating up. It is also true that the results obtained in such times do not mean much. However, the match showed some clear signs of how the new Feyenoord, led by Giovanni van Frankhorst and Sipke Hulshof, is shaping up.
Many key faces from the team were absent on this day. Anis Haj-Moussa, Ayase Ueda and Tsuyoshi Watanabe, who are on World Cup duty, are sidelined, along with Jordan Bose, who picked up an injury while playing for Australia. Moreover, Case Small is also not included in the queue. However, the eleven that stood on the field in the first half looked like a draft for the base team.

All in all, this is only the first step in preparation. However, the 6-0 win, the squad's dynamism and unwavering intensity, reassure Feyenoord fans that the initial ambitions of the 'Geo' era are on the right track.
