Against FC Groningen, only the three points for PSV and that mission succeeded. Trainer Peter Bosz was also satisfied with the institution and the game shown on Saturday evening. It is not a guarantee for a good result next week against Almere City FC. “You don’t have guarantees in football. What kind of guarantees did we have when we were in the winter break?”
Bosz was very pleased with Malik Tillman. The American midfielder was out of circulation with an injury for a long time, but awarded his base place with a goal. “If you see him standing on the field, then you know what you missed for three months. I thought it was really great to play. It is a boy with very specific qualities.”

He also praised Luuk de Jong, but this time not because of his nose in front of the goal. The captain corrected wing attacker Noa Lang who did not deliver well. “That’s how it should be, you have to correct each other. It is good that they are busy getting the most out of it. And Luuk was quite right.”
PSV has lost the title fight and the game against Ajax was crucial last Sunday. Nevertheless, Bosz believes that the defeat against the Amsterdammers does not fit in the series of competitions before. “After that match we felt the frustration and pain. But if I could look over that game, we were already making the spin before. Fortunately we could continue in Groningen.”
The profit ensures some more confidence among the people of Eindhoven and is necessary. There are six more league games on the program in which the second place, a direct ticket for the Champions League, is the goal. Almere City FC is the competition that is all about in the coming days. “The only thing I am doing is to prepare the boys well again for the next game. It’s about grabbing points.”
“Also train on tactical matters for which we had time for.”
The focus is in any case only on the competition. “But we would have preferred to be in the Champions League and played a cup final. That is why you are at a top club. But now that it is not, we try to use it by also training on tactical things that we did not have time for before. Because then it was just recovering, preparing and another competition.”
