He will have to adapt first to the competition rhythm and his coach's idea. The career of Marcos López continues to grow and the left-back now aims to consolidate himself in Feyenoord in the Netherlands. The Peruvian footballer closed his contract with the Dutch team just over a week ago and has already started training with his new teammates, although he will not make his debut in the Eredivisie yet.
This Friday, coach Arne Slot confirmed that for the moment he will not consider the 22-year-old player, so he will not be part of the squad for the away match against Waalwijk on Sunday, August 21st, for the third matchday of the Eredivisie.
"It is normal for a process like this to take some time," said the strategist in a press conference, but at the same time he highlighted that Marcos López is working hard to be part of the squad in the near future. Like the Peruvian, Brazilian Igor Paixão, from Coritiba, will also be on the sidelines for now.
If there are no major setbacks in the adaptation of both South American players, they could officially debut on matchday four, in the home game against FC Emmen, where Miguel Araujo, Fernando Pacheco, and Gonzalo Sánchez play (Saturday, August 27th).
On the other hand, it should be mentioned that Marcos López has no physical problems and has been in good form in 2022. In the first part of the year, the left-back played 17 matches (16 as a starter) with San Jose Earthquakes in the MLS and scored one goal.
How is Feyenoord doing in the Eredivisie?
Feyenoord has played two matches in the 2022-23 Eredivisie season and has four points (currently in sixth place): they won 5-2 against Vitesse and drew 0-0 with Heerenveen. The last time 'Het Legioen' won the Dutch championship title was in the 2016-17 season, with Renato Tapia in their ranks.
