Mark van Bommel made a deep bow to his own team after PSV - FC Emmen. "I have to give the boys a big compliment. We have only been together one day this week and then still this," he said at the press conference.
Fly
"I think we can do better," he began his analysis. "But I have to give the guys a big compliment. They have been flying all over the world in the last few weeks. From Kuwait to South America and into Europe. As a result, we've been together one day this week and yet we put a game like that on the mat."
Hendrix
Yet not everything was good either, Van Bommel also saw. In part that was because of FC Emmen, he thought. "Emmen played well in the beginning and we struggled with that for a while. The moment Steven put the ball wide to Gastón and the 1-0 fell we got extra confidence." In addition, PSV did not complain that Jorrit Hendrix did not receive a red card. With yellow already in his pocket, he made a spirited slide on an FC Emmen player. "Fifty-fifty duels are those, I've gone into those often enough myself," Van Bommel said. "Really a doubt. One time the referee gives a yellow card, another time not. I also experienced that in my career."
