Peter Bosz looks back on the 4-1 cup match against FC Den Bosch with mixed feelings. He is happy that his team quickly took a big lead, but is dissatisfied with PSV’s follow-up. Coach Dennis Man was also forced to make a substitution early on.
Dennis Man Injury
After that half hour, 62-year-old coach Dennis Man took off. At first it was thought that he was getting some rest, but that turned out not to be the case: “I understood that he was having some trouble. I walked over to him and he said: ‘It doesn’t feel good.’ Then all the alarm bells go off for me.” Bosz does not yet know the severity of the injury.
In the second half, PSV was no longer a shadow of the first company. FC Den Bosch was the better, scored the 1-4 and saw two goals disallowed. The coach of the Eindhoven team is not happy with the decline of his team: “If you play for a top club and you want to become a top player, you have to be able to last ninety minutes. Every match, including against Den Bosch.”
Bosz doesn’t know exactly what it is about: “You have to be able to evoke that in yourself. I think they had a lot more fun in the first half than the second half. Why would you deliver such a second half?” After asking whether that is human when the score is 0-4, Bosz goes out of his way. “If you think that’s human, you don’t belong at PSV.”
In the end, PSV won 1-4 and so it will be decided on Friday during the draw for the quarter-finals of the KNVB Cup. RKC also has a chance of a place in the last eight. To achieve this, they must first win at Heerenveen on Thursday.
