PSV also failed to keep a clean sheet in the eighth official game of the season. Club icons Willy and René van de Kerkhof are tired of all those goals against, especially because they are often preceded by stupid mistakes. René even threatens with measures in the Willy and René Podcast of Omroep Brabant. “If there is another blunder in the back against Volendam on Wednesday, I will personally come onto the field to get it off.”
Fortunately for the men, a lot went well at PSV. Excelsior was beaten 6-1, which PSV owed, according to the brothers, largely to Xavi Simons. “A really great talent”, Willy thinks.
“He may well be better than Gakpo. He is growing more and more towards a starting place. Especially in the competition matches. René would also like him in the European Cup matches in the base. “Why not? He’s really up for that. We can certainly use his quality with the loss of Luuk de Jong.”
Fantastic football player
The transfer period will close in a few days, during which PSV can still buy players and let them go. Cody Gakpo is still a PSV player and Willy and René don’t see that changing anymore. “I am not one hundred percent sure, but I am for ninety. I would also be fine if Anwar El Ghazi comes to PSV. He has not played that much in England, but he is a fantastic footballer who can also score.”
If Gakpo stays and El Ghazi comes, then according to the brothers, PSV is ready to really participate for the prizes, but first PSV must try to stay without goals against Volendam on Wednesday, otherwise René will intervene.
In the new Willy and René Podcast, the brothers also talk about their favorite PSV midfielder, René’s failed transfer to Real Madrid and the player who prefers to see René get a rock kick…
