Feyenoord technical secretary Devy Rigaux discusses Barcelona forward Jesse Bisiwu
Summary

Feyenoord technical secretary Devy Rigaux has advised patience regarding Barcelona signing Jesse Bisiwu ahead of the two clubs' Champions League match at Camp Nou. Barcelona acquired the forward from Club Brugge this summer for €8.5 million. While Bisiwu has been sidelined recently with an injury, Rigaux noted that the issue appears minor and expressed optimism about the young player’s potential. Having mentored Bisiwu during their time together at Club Brugge, Rigaux highlighted the forward's technical attributes, including pace and one-on-one ability. Rigaux, who now serves as an official at Feyenoord, expects his current team to play aggressively at the historic venue rather than settling for a defensive strategy. The match marks a significant moment for the Dutch side, as it is their first Champions League appearance at Camp Nou since the 1974–75 season.
