Feyenoord striker Ayase Ueda (28)'s scoring shot stopped like a lie.

Dutch NOS reported, "Coach Robin van Persie sent constant trust to Ueda, who has recently fallen into a slump."

Ueda showed off his fierce scoring ability, exploding 18 league goals in the first half of this season alone. However, he is suffering from a long scoring drought after scoring four goals against Zwolle on December 5 last year.

Ueda is still firmly at the top of the league's scoring category, but recently, it has even caused concern by missing games due to poor condition.

However, the head coach, who was a "legendary striker," spoke himself. Coach Van Persie gave his disciple a boost, referring to his experience as an active player.

"I also didn't score a goal in 10 to 11 games when I was active," he said. It is by no means easy to overcome," he said, sympathizing with Ueda's difficulties.

"Ueda is the type of player who always has to be fresh and in good condition to reach the highest level," he said. "There have been a few scenes where he has been close to scoring recently. If only one goal is scored, we will be able to regain our confidence again. I believe that I will definitely operate the scoring again," he said in confidence.

Van Persie said, "We're not ordering anything in particular for Ueda's score at the moment. Rather, I think it can be counterproductive, he said. "He must also feel my trust." I'm not too worried about this situation," he added.

Feyenoord's "No. 9" striker Ueda has been playing for three seasons since Feyenoord's transfer in 2023. It is noticeable that it is growing by increasing scores every season. This season, he became one of the league's best strikers with 18 goals in the first half alone. But suddenly, the scoring shot was cut off. He has not scored a goal for nearly three months, raising concerns about a slump. Ueda is aiming for the second Asian Eredivisie top scorer after Alireza Jahanbakhsh (Iran) in the 2017-2018 season.
