Entangled again in that constant spiral of injuries that marks his stay at Sevilla, since he arrived at the club in October 2020, a tendonitis will cause the Dutchman Karim Rekik to miss again tonight, before one of the clubs of his career. Rekik grew up in the Feyenoord youth ranks but played in PSV’s first team for two seasons, from 2013 to 2015, on loan from Manchester City. And there, in Eindhoven, he raised an Eredivisie that he had starred in with up to 29 games as a starting center-back. But in whose story he entered rather because of what happened after winning it, in the celebrations with the farmer fans.
From the stage of the festivities, with the title under his arm, Rekik began to chant his own name in a very peculiar way, while his then teammate Jeffrey Bruma, former Real Sociedad now at Heerenveen, tried to ‘give him some ball’ to the general stupefaction of the PSV fans and their own colleagues.
in eindhoven they still fondly remember this ‘bizarre’ moment of the now Sevilla defender. And Karim also affectionately greets his two years in the rojiblanco team, where by the way he had already met a compatriot who also accompanied him in Nervión: Luuk de Jong. “It’s my team in the Netherlands,” Rekik has declared on occasion about PSV.
