The new season in the Eredivisie has officially started and immediately provided the necessary fireworks. On Friday evening, Excelsior kicked off with a convincing 0-4 away win over Cambuur. Thanks to this strong performance, the club from Rotterdam can call itself leader for at least a week. For Excelsior, which is known as a team that often scores points at home, such a start is a huge boost and historically rare.
Expectations around PSV, the reigning national champions, were high. Peter Bosz's team opened the season in its own Philips Stadium, but failed to beat Fortuna Sittard. The 2-2 final score is a major setback for the Eindhoven team, who are the immediate pursuers instead of the leaders. The defensive performance in particular gave rise to discussion. After strong preparation, this false start is cause for concern for the PSV supporters.
Feyenoord opened its campaign with an away match against Sparta Rotterdam. Arne Slot's team made a solid impression and managed to achieve a convincing victory. The Rotterdam team thus immediately confirms their intentions to participate directly in the battle for the championship this season. With a solid selection and attacking football, Feyenoord seems ready for a dominant season.
Ajax also started the season with a win. The Amsterdam team traveled to PEC Zwolle and emerged victorious. Despite the short preparation time due to the European playing calendar, the renewed Ajax managed to retain three points from this opening match. The focus at Ajax is on rebuilding a strong team, incorporating young talent and new acquisitions.
After this first round, the Eredivisie is mainly characterized by surprises and interesting relationships. With Excelsior in the lead, Feyenoord and Ajax starting with conviction, and PSV trailing, the season immediately promises a lot of excitement. In the coming weeks it will become clear whether Excelsior can hold on to its leading position, how Feyenoord and Ajax will develop further and whether PSV will recover from this early setback.
TheThe discussion about these and other striking moments is further explored in the latest episode of the football discussion program, in which analysts such as Simon Zwartkruis, Marco Timmer and Sjoerd Keizer shed light on the course of the first round.
What's happening now
Excelsior will try to maintain their lead in the coming matches, which could give their season a positive turn. PSV must recover quickly to avoid falling further behind in the title fight, while Feyenoord and Ajax want to maintain their momentum. The next round will be crucial for all Eredivisie clubs involved.
