No, because we didn’t win. You want to show nice football, but you also want to win and that did not work, “said a bald Schreuder.

Too many mistakes

And also with routine Tjaronn Chery the big disappointment about the result over the pride of the game, which was put on the mat against the reigning national champion. ,, It was an open game with a lot of spectacle and many goals, but you don’t have a fuck in the end. It is also a compliment that PSV has adapted to our way of playing, but we have made too many our own mistakes, giving them those opportunities. If we manage to get it out of our game, then we will win a lot of matches this season. ”

Chery put his hand in his own bosom, because he made a goal, but he could have left a much more solid mark on the game, he realized. ,, If I had made that penalty (at the 3-5 stand, ed.) Then we might have been able to push on to the 5-5. Unfortunately I missed it. That should not have happened, but shit happens. Immediately after the break I should have scored. That’s a pity. But the compliments to the team for how we fought back. “

Culture

Schreuder had seen that his team was in charge of PSV in the second half. ,, That was true, but it wasn’t enough to let the game tilt. It has to do with the daily work that you do with the players, what you demand from them. Also for training and after training, not just on the field. It is a culture change. And we train a lot on switching shapes, undertal to Overtal, you name it. You have to offer that, otherwise you can never play as we do, because then you get injured somewhere. ”

The approach of Schreuder is appreciated in Nijmegen, especially at Chery. ,, This is a trainer who is different from other trainers. This is a trainer who never adapts to the opponent. You saw that today PSV had adapted a bit to us. Everyone knows how we play. Full of gas. One on one. This is nice. You see that we entertain the audience and that they appreciate that we do everything we can to win. We have many players who can deliver intensity that accelerate. Only you don’t buy anything if you lose. So those mistakes have to be removed. “

In Schreuder’s football vision, a lot is asked of the team, Chery acknowledges. ,, I think it’s hard. This playing method requires a great intensity and a lot of work of work from every player. We have to work full every training. That pays off. You can see that we have supplied a lot of energy this competition. They had difficulty with us in the second half. You can see that PSV is deadly with the mistakes we make. That has to be done. “

Special exercise material

Schreuder has exercise material to increase that intensity with his players. “We have exercises with a lot of switches,” said Chery. “Sprinting forward all together and then sprinting back together to recapture the ball. That is necessary, also because you play with three defenders. If they are one on one, then they must have help from the midfielders and attackers, who also have to keep our play.

Gestation

PSV trainer Peter Bosz stabbed the praise on Schreuder football before and after the game, which according to him is ‘even more extreme’ in terms of attacking intentions than his own football vision. Bosz and Schreuder, kindred spirits when it comes to their football vision, spoke briefly in the catacombs of the Goffert after the game. The respect of Bosz for the football of NEC, which he had adapted the PSV attitude for this game. ,, Bosz adapts to attack us. There is an idea from both trainers behind it, “says Schreuder, who was put back in the puzzle for one central defender by the choice of Bosz.” You have a game plan and then you see that you have to adjust that again. But the team is getting stronger and stronger. They have picked it up very well. “
