Dancing Feyenoord player Steijn deliberately did not get a substitute appearance: 'Wasn't ready for it'

Steijn was ready to substitute before Valente's goal but remained on the bench after the equalizer. Van Bronckhorst decided against bringing him on due to emotional readiness. Steijn, who has yet to start this season, was signed for €10 million from FC Twente. Van Bronckhorst praised the current midfield setup with Zechiël and Valente performing well. He acknowledged Steijn's disappointment but noted his good training recently, indicating he could play soon. Feyenoord faces Inter next, with Van Bronckhorst wary of their quality despite recent struggles. Defender St. Juste is out due to injury, while Van Persie and Nelson return from their injuries.
