Arne Slot says heโs going to play a player in Feyenoordโs match with Lazio that people wonโt be expecting.
The match at home to the Italian side is perhaps Feyenoordโs most important of the season yet. If they win, they can finish top of their Europa League group, but can be knocked out of Europe altogether if they fail to do so.
Theyโll have to deliver one of their best performances under Slot if theyโre to prevail, and the manager is planning to spring a surprise in his lineup for the match.
โI think there will be a player on the field tomorrow that not everyone will expect. Iโm not going to say who that is,โ he said ahead of the game.
Feyenoord didnโt play a match at the weekend while Lazio lost 3-1 to Salernitana, and Slot thinks the time off has helped his team a lot.
โWe like that we had some rest,โ he added.
โSmall pains can be solved and the freshness can be built up. We think we did well to spend the weekend not to play.โ
