Marco van Basten, who as an analyst occasionally goes with all the winds in his various analyses, appeared to be extremely complimentary about one PSV player in particular on Monday evening.
Where Wim Kieft leaves little to nothing of Joey Veerman and Jerdy Schouten, Van Basten focuses on the specific qualities of Ismael Saibari. The Moroccan Belgian had a great week with two good performances and important goals.
Van Basten is therefore impressed by Saibari: ‘Potentially the best player in the Netherlands’, says Van Basten at Ziggo’s Rondo. While Malik Tillman was regularly given this designation last season, it is now Saibari who has managed to reach great heights.
Table guests Theo Janssen and Ruud Gullit also have compliments for the PSV midfielder, but they also state that he still has inconsistent performances. Nevertheless, the analysts see that significant development can be observed at Saibari.
“He is a player who goes up and down. He has a lot of talent. He has a lot of power and is quite fast. He is a boy with many possibilities,” Janssen begins his analysis of Saibari.
“If he plays less, everyone is immediately critical, because he can do so much,” Janssen continues. “PSV is a team that is also quite changeable. He goes along with that. He needs players who will take him along.” Van Basten, in turn, is impressed by Saibari’s qualities. “I think he is potentially the best player in the Netherlands.”
According to Janssen, PSV is ‘dependent’ on Saibari’s qualities. Ruud Gullit is also very pleased with the Moroccan midfielder. “He is too young to perform every week, but he is a great player,” says the former footballer. “He is a boy just like Tillman, who can just make a very nice step,” said the analysts at Ziggo’s Rondo.
