**ROTTERDAM** – Feyenoord will face Willem II in an Eredivisie clash this evening, following their 4-1 victory over Rijnsburgse Boys in the KNVB Cup midweek. The draw for the cup quarterfinals has paired Feyenoord with PSV in a highly anticipated match-up.

Ahead of the Willem II game, Feyenoord coach Brian Priske commented on the challenging draw, stating, “That’s cup football,” to ESPN. He acknowledged the difficulty of the upcoming fixture against PSV, adding, “It’s definitely a very difficult game, and one we’re also looking forward to. We’ll be back on the pitch in Eindhoven next month.”

Feyenoord is bracing for a busy period, with crucial matches in the Eredivisie, Champions League, and KNVB Cup. Priske confirmed the team’s preparedness, stating, “We’re prepared for this period. We knew beforehand that the Champions League games were coming. The intention was also to win against Rijnsburgse Boys, and then another game.” He emphasized the importance of tonight’s game against Willem II before turning attention to the upcoming Champions League fixtures, followed by matches against Ajax and PSV.

Defender Dávid Hancko will return to the starting lineup after recovering from a minor knee injury sustained earlier in the week. Priske explained that Hancko was eager to play, despite the injury, and the rest proved beneficial.

Priske also addressed the team’s recent defensive vulnerabilities, acknowledging the concern over conceded goals. He stated, “It’s difficult and painful. It’s a small detail. Everyone knows it has to be better. We also do a lot of good things defensively. We concede goals too easily.”
