Peter Bosz cannot call on three players against RKC Waalwijk. Mauro JR and Ismael Saibari are absent through injury and Jordan Teze has indicated it would prefer not to play. Olivier Boscagli may be available.
"Olivier will train with us later and then we will know more. By the way, there are more players with whom there is still a question mark and Ismael Saibari and Mauro JR won't make it anyway," said the exercise master, who is not happy with the situation surrounding Jordan. "He has indicated that his head is on a transfer. So he is not in the selection and will not be training with us soon."
Trained on defending long balls
With the game against RKC Waalwijk also begins the difficult road to title prolongation. "Becoming champion is very difficult, but becoming it again is even more difficult." Last Sunday, PSV conceded four goals in the Johan Cruijff Schaal and Bosz was not used to that anymore. "I think we only gave up seven in the entire first half of the season last year. We analyzed the footage and came to the conclusion that we actually did a lot of things right. We forced Feyenoord into the long ball, exactly as we wanted. It was just that the long ball was not handled well and was always dangerous. We trained on that this week, so I hope we'll see the result immediately tomorrow."
Faster yellow for trainers
Finally, the exercise master gives his opinion on the fact that trainers will get a card for protesting faster in the new season. "That's a good thing. I can also annoy myself tremendously with the grumbling around the arbitration. If I have to take part in that myself, I should be punished for that too."
