Robin van Persie dismisses Feyenoord's potential record

Robin van Persie says he is not focused on the potential record that Feyenoord could set in their upcoming match against PEC Zwolle. The club would become the worst second‑placed side in Eredivisie history if they fail to win.

Van Persie's comments come as Feyenoord prepare for the Sunday fixture, a match that carries the risk of an unwanted statistical distinction. The team currently sits second in the league table.

The Eredivisie record would be the poorest performance by a runner‑up since the competition began, according to historical standings. The club's position makes the upcoming game critical.

Despite the pressure, van Persie emphasizes that the focus remains on the football rather than the potential record. He does not intend to let the possibility affect the team's preparation.

PEC Zwolle, the opponents, will also be looking to secure points, adding competitive tension to the encounter. Both sides understand the stakes of a Sunday match.

The result on Sunday will determine whether Feyenoord avoids the dubious record, with the club aiming to secure the win needed to improve its standing.
