Robin van Persie, recently appointed as Feyenoord's coach, expresses optimism ahead of the crucial Champions League second leg against Inter Milan at San Siro. Despite a 2-0 deficit from the first leg and a history of poor performances against Italian teams, Van Persie emphasizes the importance of belief within his squad. Feyenoord faces daunting odds, with just a 3% chance of reaching the quarter-finals, yet Van Persie remains hopeful, encouraging his players to aim high and not succumb to despair.
The beauty of sport is that there is always hope, even if people think there is little chance. We want to surprise everyone.
It is clear that we want to surprise everyone. The expectation now is that it is hopeless for us, but I don’t think so.
