The other good news for trainer Peter Bosz was that he could have his first striker Ricardo Pepi fall in five minutes before time. The final score was already on the scoreboard then.
Because of the injuries in the ashes of Joey Veerman and Alassane Pleea – midfielder and Spits – and left behind Mauro Junior, Bosz filled in his team differently in five positions than at FC Twente. But that could not be an excuse for the sloppy start of the champion against FC Groningen.

Three times the ball loss of the otherwise ball -resistant captain Jerdy Schouten, twice from Sergino Dest and central defender Yarek Gasiorowski, who was uncertain about the ball, did not help PSV in the game. Only the people of Groningen were unable to benefit from this and the people of Eindhoven grew in the competition.
Guus Til and occasion pits Ivan Perisic shots from a distance in the 21st and 23rd minute before the former opened the score in the 32nd minute. With happiness. A weak ball from Ruben van Bommel who kept the middle between a shot and cross came through Thijmen Blokzijl at the feet of Til at the second post. His first bet came back from that pole, but on the second effort of Til – half sitting with some acrobatics – goalkeeper Hidde Jurjus was no chance, 1-0.
What the start should be to a larger score and easy third victory in a row this season PSV just asleep. Ryan Flamingo’s unnecessary loss of ball was well exploited with the 1-1 of the foot of Brynjölfur Willumsson.
Flamingo passed itself by in the first half. The central defender has talked to him to develop this season into the leader of the defender. At the departure of Olivier Boscagli. It is to be praised that Flamingo raises the bar and wants to bear responsibility, but in the first instance he remains the defender who has to eliminate his husband and have a midfielder as quickly as possible. In all his zeal, Flamingo often loses his first task.
PSV trainer Peter Bosz lashes out to analytics after statements about Tackle on Alassane Pléa: “What is this?”
What is also striking is that the 22-year-old Stopper always starts the physical fight, with a foul lurking. Or a mistake that makes his direct opponent free job to PSV’s goal. Flamingo sometimes happened to this at the European Championship with the Dutch Juniors. Instead of focusing on developing leadership, he will have to become a bit smarter as a defender as a next step.
Two goals substitute Bajraktarevic
Flamingo’s mistake was made up for by his fellow players in the 46th and 49th minute with the 2-1 of substitute Esmir Bajraktarevic and 3-1 from Van Bommel. The Bosnian came for debutant Dennis Man. The Romanian dribbler made no impression at his presentation and returned to Johan Bakayoko. While the Belgian, who said goodbye to the Eindhoven public in the break after his transfer to RB Leipzig, could hardly break pots on PSV’s right flank last season.
In the 66th minute, Bajraktarevic shook off as a competitor when he responded to a rebound offered by Jurjus (4-1).
With the safeguarding the victory – Mats Seuntjes made 4-2 from a free kick – Bosz started changing with the brand new purchase Paul Wanner. The 19-year-old German pearl, from Bayern Munich, cost PSV excluding bonuses around fifteen million euros and has to become the successor to Malik Tillman.
How much PSV expected from the youth international is expected that Bosz has assigned him back number 10. In the 85th minute, Wanners even overshadowed the return of the previously injured striker Ricardo Pepi. Although that will not apply to Bosz because he knows how important the American is for him after leasing for months of second striker plea.
