“A victory and my debut, that’s great,” said Veerman at ESPN. „I have waited a long time for this, to play at the top. The level in the training sessions is much higher than at Heerenveen and the PSV complex is also slightly different. I can keep up with the training. At least, that’s what I think myself. We have a few ‘fighter jets’ in the front, which is nice for my game. Yes, I really felt ready for this step. Fortunately, PSV gave me the chance.”
PSV won 1-0 in Groningen due to an early goal from Mario Götze and maintained themselves at the top of the Eredivisie a week before the top match against Ajax. “The first half went a bit easier than the second, but in the end we take 3 points home and that is the most important thing,” said captain Marco van Ginkel. “After the break it was a bit of a pinball game.”
