Feyenoord wants to annoy another Milan Club in the Champions League this season, with the Dutch team being against Inter in the 16th round.
Feyenoord was without a manager when they were confronted against Milan in the play-off round, but they resisted the chances after achieving a 1-0 win on home floor in the first leg. After the visitors had returned to a goal of the former striker Santiago Gimenez within the first minute, they benefited from Theo Hernandez before restoring parity through a emphatic Carranza headball at night.
Their draw in the San Siro was enough to qualify for the KO phase of this competition in 50 years, and former striker Robin van Persie has been appointed manager since then.
Inter has recently had their domestic problems, but they were awarded the league. The Nerazzurri was fourth in the table after he had only granted once in eight games. They were a great cup team under Simone Inzaghi, even though she succumbed to Atletico Madrid last season.
The moderators on Wednesday are also included in an enthusiastic title race of Serie A with Napoli, with which they were drawn 1-1 and Atalanta on Saturday. Juventus also sniffs around.

Van Persie inherited a decimated squad, and Feyenoord’s availability problems have refused to relieve the Nerazzurri in good time for the first leg on Wednesday.
The hosts are without a long list of players, including Hwang In-Beom, Bart Nieuwkoop, Calvin Stengs, Gernot Trauner and Ayase Ueda. The goalkeeper Justin Bijlow and Captain Quinten Timber are also sufficient. In fact, wood is out with a knee injury for the rest of the season.
Givairo Las, the teenager who started the game of Feyenoords Play-Off in Milan, is suspended, while Jakub Moder and Antoni Milambo are doubts.
Feyenoord predicted the line-up against Inter (4-3-3): Wellenreuther; Mitchell, Beelen, Hancko, Bueno; Ivanusec, moderate, SMEL; Hadj Moussa, Carranza, Paixao.
Federico Dimarco was forced in Naples with a sublime free kick in Naples, and he will miss the game on Wednesday with the knock on Saturday.
His absence came for Inter at the wrong time, with alternative left-back Matteo Darmian, Nicola Zalewski and Carlos Augusto, all of whom miss the first leg in Rotterdam.
Inter of the game, however, received a few fitness boosts. It is expected that both Hakan Calhanoglu and Yann Sommer will be fit, and the couple will probably be recorded in Simone Inzaghi’s start XI.
Inter forecasting against Feyenoord (3-5-2): Summer; Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni; Pavard, Barella, Calhanoglu, Zielinski, Dumfries; Thuram, Martinez.
Feyenoord did exceptionally well to achieve this phase of the competition, but the chances are stacked against them in the 16th round. There is certainly a fallibility of this intermediate team, and the lack of a natural left back could cause some compensation problems.
They are not quite sure at the moment, and de Kuip is a difficult place. Feyenoord beat Bayern Munich and passed the Milan in her previous two home master league -outings.
However, this squad was wiped out by injuries. Van Persie has just arrived and the time of the new manager will take time. Feyenoord may be fearless because they have little to lose, but Inters understanding should finally shine through in Rotterdam.
