Luuk de Jong stood balking at FOX Sports after another 2-2 draw. The captain felt that PSV tied the score far too late. "It should not happen that you have to fight for a point," De Jong said immediately afterwards.
'Has to end somet ime'
"In the end, we won a point," De Jong agreed after a question from reporter Hans Kraay Jr. "We dragged a draw out of the fire. It's a bit the same as last week. They get three chances and score twice," said De Jong, who is not bothered by that. "That has to end sometime. So much is going wrong. People not entering their duel and then you have to fight again. We don't switch gears well enough. We did that better in the first half of the season. We didn't let the opponent breathe. That didn't show in the first half."

De Jong believed, however, that PSV could claw their way back again. "We had the pressure on, Heerenveen didn't come out anymore. I thought we dominated, but the final pass didn't come out. Of course things went wrong, but at least we fought. Although it should never be that you have to fight like that to get a point."
Van Bommel
Mark van Bommel partly agreed with his captain. "When you score the 2-2 so late, the emotions are similar to last week (the 2-2 against FC Utrecht, ed.) But this must not happen again," the head coach said.
The beginning of the match worried Van Bommel. "That's bad from us. At 2-0, we let ourselves be outplayed too easily. Last week we got a goal against from a corner kick and a counter. Now it was really down to ourselves. At the end we tried everything to get a draw out of it. We succeeded."
