Press conference | 'We want to put our direct competitor at a great distance'

The distance on the league table is ten points. Nevertheless, Bosz sees no reason to approach the match differently, the Head Coach made known during the press conference ahead of the important game. "We analyze every opponent and see where their strengths and weaknesses lie, so too with Feyenoord. The starting point at all times is our own strength."

Battle plan
Bosz personally does not differentiate between PSV's opponents, but understands that a similar match is more alive within the selection. "At training you notice that everyone is razor-sharp. It is currently the biggest match we can play in the Eredivisie. We can get three points against anyone, so for me the game against Feyenoord is absolutely no different from last week's game against PEC Zwolle, for example."

When asked if not losing is the biggest goal, the Head Coach responded very firmly, "We want to win on Sunday and are not content with a draw. With that attitude I send my boys into the field every week. We want to put our direct rival at a greater distance and that is our focus. If that succeeds, I'll light up a big cigar. It's an important match for us."

Windfall and setback
For Ismael Saibari, the Eredivisie topper comes too soon anyway, while the inclusion of Joey Veerman is still a question mark. "Things are not going well for Joey. Today he is sick and therefore not at the club. Tomorrow we will decide if Joey is fit enough to play, because that is certainly not out of the question."

"We have shown this season that we have more than eleven good players. Any replacement has other specific qualities, because otherwise you don't play at PSV. I hope he will just be there, but otherwise I will draft another very good player. Guus can play again against Feyenoord and is also fit enough to start in the starting line-up," Bosz concluded.
