Feyenoord coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst has cautioned that his team's home win over Como may not guarantee success against Inter in their upcoming Champions League match, citing the difference in status between the two opponents. Van Bronckhorst spoke at a pre-match press conference, referencing the upcoming game against Inter at De Kuip. The match is scheduled for 21:00 CET, with Glenn Nyberg as the referee. Inter arrive after a 3-1 loss to Milan.

Van Bronckhorst acknowledged that Inter, despite being plagued by injuries including Lautaro Martínez and Benjamin Pavard, possess significant quality and experience. He noted that Inter's style is similar to Feyenoord's and that they are a complete team capable of adapting their strategy. Van Bronckhorst emphasized the need for Feyenoord to be compact and not leave Inter with dangerous spaces, as they managed against Como.

Feyenoord are looking to bounce back from three games without a win, with Van Bronckhorst stating that the team has energy and is motivated to turn the page. Shaqueel van Persie and Reiss Nelson are expected to be available for the match after training. Van Bronckhorst downplayed the significance of Inter's recent derby loss, focusing instead on their overall strengths and Champions League experience.
