With a head full of questions, captain Denzel Dumfries faced FOX Sports after NAC Breda - PSV (2-0). How it was possible that PSV lost again? 'If I had the antidote, I would use it,' the captain replied.
Collective failure
"We do try to fight, stay positive and play football, but it doesn't work," Dumfries continued. "We need to take a good look in the mirror, but I've actually been saying that for weeks. We are failing collectively. " Dumfries then tried to put his finger on it. "It's actually a repetitive story. We start weak, let them come into the game, don't reward ourselves when we get chances," sighed the captain, who was joined by Nick Viergever.
'Falling apart in the face of adversity'
The defender made his first minutes since the winter break as left back, coached where he could but also could not prevent another thumping. "Things are creeping into the team again that I thought we had lost in Qatar. With setbacks, the team falls apart," he said in the catacomb.
'Box is right'
Interviewer Jan-Joost van Gangelen heard PSV's outbox chanting "Shame on you! "They are absolutely right," Dumfries thought. "We have to take this as guys. This is PSV unworthy."
