Bijlow: Honestly, I didn’t want to play against Roma again

Feyenoord goalie, Justin Bijlow, has shared his thoughts on the upcoming Europa League draw pitting the Dutch club against Roma. Speaking to the website Soccernews.nl, he expressed his candid reaction to the news of facing the Italian team.

“I must be honest, I would have liked to avoid either Marseille or Roma, but it seems we are going to Roma again. My first reaction was ‘oh, them again’. These will be two intense matches. Now, we must win,” he said.

Clearly, his comments suggest a certain level of apprehension about meeting Roma again, underlining the perceived strength of the Italian giant. Regardless of his initial reaction, however, Bijlow reiterated the team’s resolve to pursue victory in the forthcoming games.
