KUYT MAKES THE PLAYOFFS

admin

Fenerbahce has secured a place in the playoff round of the UEFA Champions League by defeating Vaslui by 4-1. Dirk Kuyt scored twice in the match and helped Fenerbahce in winning the match easily. Kuyt has joined Fenerbahce in June this year and he is performing brilliantly for the club in his very first season. Fenerbahce has bought Kuyt from Feyenoord after paying a transfer fee of 1 million Euros and it seems that the Turkish club has done the correct thing by investing in Kuyt. The Dutchman has joined Fenerbache on a contract of three years.

In the match against Vaslui, Kuyt scored both the goals in the second half. The Vaslui players started the match pretty well and were ahead till the 61st minute of the match. But, after that, they lost their control on the game and Fenerbache fired four goals in a space of 29 minutes. Vaslui took the lead pretty early in the match and got the opportunity to double the lead in the 52nd minute of the match. But, the team wasn’t able to take the advantage of the penalty kick. That was the turning point of the match. After that, the Fenerbache players played very aggressively. Stoch, who came to play as a substitute, scored the leveler in the 61st minute of the match. Kuyt took Fenerbahce ahead by scoring his first goal in the match in the 71st minute. He made the score 3-1 by scoring his second goal a few minutes later.

After scoring two goals, Kuyt was replaced by Moussa Sow in the 85th minute of the match. Immediately after coming on to the ground, Sow scored the fourth goal for Fenerbahce. Kuyt was named as the player of the match for his impressive performance.

DUTCH FACE UP TO DIFFICULIES

admin

Former Liverpool star Dirk Kuyt has said that the Dutch national team was looking at a different kind of start to the Euro 2012. The Dutch were coming into the Euro 2012 as one of the favourites to win the competition, but were in the same group alongside Germany, Portugal and Denmark.

Hence, they faced a tough competition in order to get to the quarter-finals of the competition. The Dutch, though, were in for a shock after they lost their opening game against Denmark 1-0. It was followed by a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Portugal, which has put them on the brink of elimination from the competition.

Speaking to I Love Liverpool ahead of the Portugal match, the former Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt has said that he and his teammates did not see the competition going in such a bad manner. Despite having some of the best players in the world including the likes of Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben, the team has found it extremely hard to score goals and create chances. As a result, Dirk Kuyt has said that the team should focus more on creating more chances in the final group game against Cesc Fabregas‘s Spain. Netherlands still have a slim chance of making it into the quarter-finals.

“Everyone was very disappointed afterwards. We had a different start to this tournament in mind. We must now deliver a top performance against Portugal. If Germany do their job, then we can still progress to the next round. We got two good opportunities, but then their [Germany’s] first chance was an instant goal. We really had to continue in the same footing, but we couldn’t. We then went all out in our play, and Robin [van Persie] scored a beautiful goal. But they were dangerous on the counter. If we had been more compact, we could have helped each other more,” said Kuyt.
