Van der Vaart mocks Benfica striker with 4 goals: “Sack him” | OneFootball

Rafael Van der Vaart delivered harsh criticism of Casper Tengstedt. On a Dutch television commentary program, the retired footballer ‘mocked’ the former Benfica player, claiming that he does not have the quality to represent a club like Feyenoord.

“I don’t know who signed him, but they should be fired immediately. I saw that he played for Benfica, incredible. Whoever signed him must have watched his games backwards,” said Rafael Van der Vaart, leaving harsh criticism of Casper Tengstedt, the former Benfica player who now plays for Feyenoord.

So far, Casper Tengstedt – who revealed details about his departure from the Eagles – has played only five matches for the Dutch club, totaling 101 minutes, during which he has yet to find the back of the net. The former Benfica player was in the starting lineup in the 1-0 defeat against Braga, in the first round of the Europa League.

It should be remembered that Casper Tengstedt left Benfica in the last transfer window. After a loan spell at Hellas Verona, in Serie A, the 25-year-old Dane moved to the Dutch club, bringing in around 6 million euros for the Eagles’ coffers, with the amount potentially rising depending on performance-related objectives.

The striker joined Benfica in January 2023, coming from Rosenborg, for a fee of 7 million euros. In total, wearing the Sacred Mantle, Casper Tengstedt played 35 matches, in which he scored four goals and provided six assists. The striker’s best moment for the Reds was likely his goal against Sporting in the 2023/24 season.
