So far, PSV has been almost untouchable in the Eredivisie. Last Saturday, however, Peter Bosz’s team seemed to face a surprising defeat at home against NAC Breda, number 17 in the Eredivisie.
In injury time, Armando Obispo managed to head in the 2-2 and thus saved PSV from the second Eredivisie defeat of this season. That would have meant that Peter Bosz’s team lost twice at home to a relegation candidate in one season if NAC had held out. Earlier this season, PSV suffered a painful defeat on its own field against PhD candidate Telstar (0-2).
The Eindhovens Dagblad did not miss the fact that PSV did not leave a good impression at home against Carl Hoefkens’ team last weekend. The newspaper takes a closer look at the match in the morning edition. “PSV didn’t seem to know anymore after the break,” the medium concludes.
Despite the large lead over number 2 Feyenoord, back to 14 points after last weekend, Peter Bosz’s team will not have a good feeling going into this week with the Champions League match at home against FC Bayern Munich and the cracker of February 1, also at home against Feyenoord.
The Eindhovens Dagblad also writes that PSV’s tough program in combination with the number of injuries is also starting to occur. ”The late 2-2 could not take away the chagrin of the leader, who suddenly has to deal with the necessary headwind. Moreover, the tough program is starting to take its toll at PSV, with an increasingly full infirmary. Since the visit to Newcastle, Guus Til and Anass Salah-Eddine have also been included. Ricardo Pepi, Alassane Pléa, Myron Boadu, Nick Olij and Ruben van Bommel have also been in the infirmary for a long time,” according to the local newspaper.
The mistakes of captain Jerdy Schouten have also not gone unnoticed by the editors of the Eindhovens Dagblad. ”Almost the entire season the team in the Eredivisie had no headwind and the green wave was on at the Eindhoven traffic lights, but suddenly mice seemed to have bitten through the electricity cables. Schouten’s personal mistakes in particular were incomprehensible, precisely because he is usually so strong on the ball,” the ED writes.
