Dessers still think back to Feyenoord's fairytale in the Conference League, as he was nicknamed 'Mister Conference League'.

"It still gives me goosebumps," he responds to NU.nl. 

Dessers made it 1-0 in the game against Marseille with an assist from Luis Sinisterra in the 18th minute.

"The stadium exploded in such a way, and that was the best game of my career. Everything was right."

The 1-0 was not yet the highlight. After Marseille had made it 2-2, Dessers was decisive again and made it 3-2, sending Feyenoord to the final.

"It has without a doubt been the best year of my career." Feyenoord played as a collective team.

"It's one of the best dressing rooms I've ever had. Everyone was focused and no one complained. It's unbelievable that I'm part of the rich history of Feyenoord."

Trainer Arne Slot contributed to the success, he says. "He knew how the opponent played and countered it completely. He thought two, three steps ahead. With Erik ten Hag, he is the best trainer I've had."
