poreseason training with Feyenoord and played the 2nd
half of their first friendly. However, the arrival of
the experienced keeper Henk Timmers will likely decrease
his chances to see action next season.

Egyptian goalie Sherif Ekramy started preseason preparations
with his Dutch club Feyenoord Rotterdam a few days ago.
The club played their first friendly match versus VV
Katwijk and the match ended in a disappointing 1-0 defeat
for the Rotterdammers.
Feyenoord played the game with two teams, the first
team played the first 45 minutes which witnessed VV
Katwijk only goal in the 22nd minute. The second team
played the final 45 minutes and Ekramy was amongst the
2nd half squad. The Egyptian didn't concede goals in
the 45 minutes that he played which witnessed improvement
in Feyenoord's play.
Aside from preparation news, Feyenoord decided to sign
another experienced goalkeeper from AZ. The 34 year
old goalkeeper Henk Timmers was a former Feyenoord player
and a current member of the Dutch national team.
The arrival of Timmers means that Ekramy's chance to
be the main goalkeeper of Feyenoord will be delayed
as Timmers and the veteran 39 goalkeeper Lodewijks will
likely be the first and second choice for the goalkeeper
spot.

On the other side, Feyenoord will likely keep Ekramy and let
the substitute goalkeeper Michael Aerts go.
It should be noted that Sherif was the 3rd choice goalkeeper
in the previous season but poor performances from Aerts helped
the Egyptian to be the 2nd goalie. Ekrami would be the 2nd
shot stopper in the coming season but it seems that Erwin
Koeman wanted a more experienced goalie to occupy the spot.
Feyenoord:
First half: Lodewijks; Collen, Vlaar, Altheer, Drenthe;
Hofs, Abubakari, Lucius; De Ceulaer; Van Hooijdonk, Huysegems.
Second half: Ekramy; Greene, Derijck, Bahia, Mtiliga;
Sammuel, De Guzman, Davids; Castelen (85? Biseswar), Boussaboun,
Kolkka.
