Bank secret
'PSV's secret seems to be the strength of the bench. Injuries do not bother Phillip Cocu's squad. That also appeared yesterday against N.E.C.: 0-3,' said the front page of the sports section of the Eindhovens Dagblad. With an Arnhems trio, PSV took the spoils at N.E.C.. 'With a complete Arnhems midfield on a Nijmegen mat full of grooves and doubt snow, Phillip Cocu's team was very dominant on the ball'. Read the full review here via Blendle.
50 times hit
It started last season, after PSV's 1-0 defeat at sc Heerenveen. From Sept. 28, 2014, the Eindhoveners scored in every premier league match the club played. PSV already held the national record before the winter break, scoring at Vitesse for the 42nd consecutive time in the premier league. Yesterday Luuk de Jong scored the first PSV goal and PSV scored at NEC for the 50th time in a row in an eredivisie game.

Statistics
The statistics also play an emphatic role in this phase. The Eindhovens Dagblad reports that 'Luuk de Jong scored its eighth goal with its head, Jürgen Locadia managed to find the net for the first time in four months, and PSV booked its seventh win in a row.'
Art Langeler
According to the Algemeen Dagblad, PSV must look for a new Head of Youth Training in the summer. After sc Heerenveen, FC Groningen is also interested in Art Langeler. Langeler has been informed of the (not yet concrete) interest. He does not necessarily have to leave yet, although a situation may arise that a club will pull him. 'If Art were to leave here at all, it would be through the front door anyway,' Marcel Brands said in a comment.
PSV Women
PSV Women did good business Friday night by winning the away match at PEC Zwolle 0-3, including a wonderful goal by Mauri van de Wetering. Because nearest rival FC Twente lost, Nebojsa Vuckovic's team is now equal in points with the Tukkers. PSV Women, however, played one more game. Leader are the Ajax Women, with a lead of seven points.

Eredivisie on the counterattack
Finally, an interesting story in De Telegraaf. 'The top clubs in Dutch professional football have sought rapprochement with other B-countries in European football through the Eredivisie CV (ECV) to arm themselves against the arrival of a possible European Super League. The Netherlands, Scotland, the Scandinavian countries, Belgium, as well as Switzerland and Greece are reckoning with a secession from the European elite that has long contemplated a league in which the absolute top clubs play each other structurally.
