Euphoria after PSV - Feyenoord: ‘He is so phenomenal, we should be absolutely delighted that he still plays in the Netherlands’

Ron Jans loved watching Anis Hadj Moussa during PSV - Feyenoord (1-1). He said as much on NOS Studio Sport.

Hadj Moussa was completely out of the game in the first half in Eindhoven. After the break, a brilliant piece of skill helped Feyenoord salvage a point.

"We should be really pleased that he is still playing football in the Netherlands," Jans says. "This lad decides matches. He's simply at Lamal (Lamine Yamal, ed.) level."

Analysing Hadj Moussa's equaliser, Jans says: "Maybe those two PSV players (Kostic and Mauro, ed.) could have done better, but he strikes it in absolutely brilliantly." He adds: "This is a player you can really enjoy watching. You know he does this, that he can do this. A wonderful goal."

Jans then reveals that he spoke to Hadj Moussa during his time as FC Utrecht manager. "It looked very promising. I heard a lot from Vitesse: don't do it, because he doesn't help out defensively. But he is so phenomenal."

"The PSV defenders took the bait too, and that's the last thing you should do against him," Jans says, relishing the sight of Hadj Moussa beating his opponents. "He called me then, when I was at Utrecht, to say he was going to Feyenoord after all. Yes, that was a good choice."

Last summer, Hadj Moussa came close to a move to the Middle East, but technical director Dévy Rigaux ultimately refused to cooperate with a potential €40 million transfer. The Rotterdam club won't regret that decision now.
