ROTTERDAM (Reuters) - Feyenoord might have lost a third Champions League group match but their performance in their 2-1 home defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk has encouraged coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst ahead of Sunday's Dutch league clash against Ajax Amsterdam.
"Morale is good...really," he told reporters after Feyenoord succumbed to their third defeat in Group F on their return to European football's elite club competition for the first time in 15 years.
