At PSV they will certainly not be talking about a championship party in April. But it is clear that the world looks rosy in Eindhoven. The Eindhoven team wants to take the next step towards the national championship on Saturday evening in Zwolle. “You can always have bad luck.”
With twelve games to go, PSV still has a ten-point lead over nearest attacker Feyenoord. But despite the excellent starting position, no one at PSV considers themselves rich. “We are in a very good position, but that does not mean that we can talk about a championship celebration, as you can already read,” coach Peter Bosz referred to the messages that have appeared in various media.
“It is important not to panic at the first setback.”
“We shouldn’t start losing,” the trainer continued his story. “But such a moment always comes closer. You may be unlucky or receive an unjustified penalty. But then it is important not to panic. Ultimately, it can only be our fault if we do not become champions this season.”
Peter Bosz could not suppress a smile at the unjustified penalty because last Tuesday in the match against Borussia Dortmund, PSV was not allowed to complain about a penalty kick. Three days later, Peter Bosz also had to admit this.
“Mats Hummels played the ball, so it was good for us.”
“I looked back and Mats Hummels (Dortmund defender, ed.) played the ball. But you shouldn’t forget the attack around it. It was a great attack. We may have had some bad luck, but that goal was more than deserved.”
Ultimately, PSV played 1-1 against the German top club in an exciting match and the match will be decided in 2.5 weeks. It is expected that it will be less exciting on Saturday in Zwolle. “We want to take the initiative there and show what we have been showing all season. We have to win there. Although PEC Zwolle is in good shape. If they dare to play football it can be a fun match.”
A week later the cracker against Feyenoord awaits. There PSV can perhaps take one of the last steps towards the national title. But that still falls on deaf ears. “I don’t want to hear about it. We’re going to Zwolle first tomorrow,” Bosz did not allow himself to be deceived.
