“Sour, very sour”, PSV defender Melanie Bross calls the missing the championship by the PSV Women. FC Twente won 3-2 against AZ on Saturday afternoon and took the tenth national title. Last week the people of Twente also won the Toto KNVB Cup at the expense of PSV. In the coming years, the people of Eindhoven want to catch the prizes with a better -filled wallet. “Hopefully we will celebrate an extra big party next season.”
The PSV Women were very close to the first national title on Saturday afternoon by winning 3-2 against Feyenoord. FC Twente, however, fought back from a 0-2 deficit and passed the competitor from Eindhoven on goal difference due to a 3-2 victory over AZ. “The 1-10 victory of FC Twente on Excelsior earlier this season has taken us,” says Melanie Bross (28) from Heesch.
“We hoped that there was tension and pressure at FC Twente and that they might leave points. In the break we heard that FC Twente was behind and there was some faith with us. Unfortunately, luck was not on our side.”
Afterwards, the selection of PSV on the field of the Philips Stadium in Eindhoven remained and trainer Roeland ten Berge spoke to his group. Melanie: “It has been a very nice season in which we as a team grew. It is a pity that the perfect scenario did not come out with a title, but hopefully the men will succeed tomorrow.”

Attacker Shanique Dessing made two of the three Treffers on Saturday afternoon. The attacker could not enjoy her goals afterwards. “We are empty -handed, the championship has slipped through our fingers. We have to give this a place.”
“Then we will go for that.”
For PSV, only the Eredivisie Cup, a small tournament where the top four in the ranking is participating. “Then we will go for that,” says the attacker who will leave PSV. “It is a price that we can grab.”
The first national title of PSV was therefore not forthcoming, but in the coming years the club hopes to definitely take the step to the top in the Women’s Eredivisie. Thanks to a new main sponsor, a collection of companies under the name Fe+Male Tech Heroes. The sponsorship income in the women’s branch doubles with that.
Manager Women’s Football Sandra Doreleijers calls it a big step. “The value that this represents is enormous. This also testifies to the involvement of our regional partners, who believe in female talent and are willing to invest in this project. I am convinced that this collaboration will be a great success.”
