Robin van Persie wait what his trainer Giovanni van Bronckhorst to Feyenoord a plan now Nicolai Jörgensen is back from an injury. The old hand has no preference for the striker or the number 10 position.

“Both is good”, says Van Persie on Sunday after the 1-1-draw at AZ. Albert Gudmundsson (1-0) and Steven Berghuis (1-1) were spot-on in the AFAS Stadium.

“Last season, I have often as a number 10 played. This season really only as striker. I now get more resistance, but physically speaking, it is easier than 10. In this role, you should walk away. You do get more of the ball. Thus, it has both advantages and disadvantages.”
