In this episode of The Football Talent Show, hosts Adam Lenges and Jacek Kulig are joined by Johan Brinkel, co-host of Kein Geloel, “the podcast dedicated to the most beautiful football club in the world—Feyenoord.”

The discussion covers Johan’s first memory of Feyenoord, the unique culture of “De Trots van Zuid” (The Pride of the South), and the fierce rivalry with Ajax. They also dive into the impact of Arne Slot, Robin van Persie, the academy’s role in the first team, and Feyenoord’s approach to transfers and player development.

This episode offers an in-depth look at what makes Feyenoord the pride of Rotterdam—and maybe even the world.
