In my title I'm asking what happened to them. You're probably asking yourselves who is "them"? Well, i'll tell you. I'm talking about my favorite team: Feyenoord!!!!!!!!!!! If you look at the statistics of the last 10 UEFA cup winners you will notice that the
only team that has vanished from the top lists is Feyenoord.
Last 10 UEFA Cup Winners:
2000-01: Liverpool
2001-02: Feyenoord
2002-03: Porto
2003-04: Valencia
2004-05: CSKA Moscow
2005-06: Sevilla
2006-07: Sevilla
2007-08: Zenit
2008-09: Shakhtar Donetsk
2009-10: Atletico Madrid
All these teams are still in the big leagues. Feyenoord on the other hand has sunk amazingly low. This was once the best team in the world!!! Between then and now they have virtually vanished from the top teams. They've gone from winning the Uefa cup to losing to De Graafschap in a home game, that's not only disappointing for them, but also for all the fans like me. Feyenoord sucks right now; they are 15th in the Eredivisie (Dutch league). How did they get down there? Here are some things that show you what happened to them.
Over the years their players have become worse and worse:
In 2002 they played with the following Line-up in the Uefa cup final, which they won 3-2:
Zoetebier
GK
Gyan Paauwe Van Wonderen Rzasa
RB CB CB LB
Kalou Bosvelt Ono Van Persie
RM CM CM LM
Tomasson Van Hooijdonk
ST ST
You probably know a lot of these players like Van Persie, but the Kalou that played there is not the Kalou who plays for Chelsea (no, that's his older brother). Anyway, look at the team above: you also probably know Tomasson. He was the captain of Denmark in the 2010 WC; he also used to play for AC Milan and he now plays for Feyenoord again, but is getting too old. Elmander came in for the last few minutes of the 2002 game - he was only 20 when he played then. The striker Van Hooijdonk was an amazing player and played for teams like Nottingham Forrest. Sadly he had a bad personality, wanted too much money, wouldn't play if he disagreed with the coach and was just problematic in general. Still, in his 551 games he scored 334 goals and that is a
lot. Besides the defense, which was actually really good, Feyenoord had one of their best teams for a long time, but soon they were sold. Ten of the 14 players of Feyenoord went to a better club or retired within 3 years.

The team of Feyenoord now is actually not a bad one, but they don't have enough experience or luck+the players they buy are players like LB Rsaza. Rsaza came from Zürich (not usually a good omen) but turned out to be a great player. Feyenoord recently bought Swerts from AZ. He plays the same position as Rsaza but only half as good. Another problem is Feyenoord owes a lot of money to a lot of people.!.!.!.!.!.!. Feyenoord is a team that has the honor of being a Champions League winner and they've pretty much thrown it away.
Feyenoord is made up of spoiled little players who have the quality to be a great team but they don't want to put in the hard work. Furthermore, they are blinded by past achievements, past glories and of course - money. Plus their trainer Mario Been is a loser!!!
Feyenoord has to step it up, and bring back what they owe the fans............ a win!!! The little guys like Castaignos and Wijnaldum need to carry the team on their shoulders. Castaignos and Wijnaldum are both very talented players and now have to shine. Also Cabral is an amazing dribbler and has the quality to shoot goals, because that's their main problem: They can't score even though they have a good Attack.
The defense is also not doing great, but their doing better then the Attack.
Luc Castaignos
In this long paragraph was the answer to this monstrosity of a non-winning streak, and it is written bold.
Thanks for reading my blog!!! Hope Feyenoord wins on Sunday versus Vitesse who is even worse then Feyenoord!!! If that's possible!!!
