Viergever: 'There is a lot of quality in this group '
Nick Viergever praised the resilience of the players' group after the away game with RKC Waalwijk. In conversation with the Eindhovens Dagblad, he looks back on the match. "First half was sloppy and we lost a lot of duels, then you don't get into the game," said the defender. "With our willpower, the confidence we have in each other and the guys coming in who make a difference you can turn a game around." Viergever thinks it is not crazy that PSV has nine Eredivisie goals with nine different goal scorers: "Up front we have a lot of scoring ability, a lot of guys who can make an action. There is a lot of quality in this group. Not just eleven guys, the bench plays an important role in that." Watch the interview here.
First goal Baumgartl
Timo Baumgartl managed to find the net against RKC Waalwijk, but very few goals are usually scored by the defender. In the Bundesliga he managed to score twice and yesterday he also opened his score sheet at PSV. "Sometimes I score, sometimes it's luck. Now I stood where I needed to stand," the defender said in conversation with Fox Sports. "I got the ball in front of me and knew that corner had to be free, then I shot it in." Baumgartl shot the liberating 1-2 against the ropes: "The ball still got a little bit of effect, but when you score you have to be happy."
'Mitrogol' lives up to nickname
In about an hour of playing time, Kostas Mitroglou has already scored two goals. Yesterday also his first Eredivisie goal against RKC Waalwijk. FOX Sports analyst Ronald de Boer is enthusiastic about the striker's qualities: "He is clever and head strong because he has a good length and on the counter he performs well because he is hungry for a goal. If you get an opponent who is going to play defensively, hoping for a counter then you do well to put him in the striker's position." Watch the analysis here.
Reon Boeringa: 'These are Ihattaren's weeks '
VI journalist Reon Boeringa has a favorite player at PSV right now: Mohamed Ihattaren. "He was the one who tipped the game in PSV's favor after halftime. The goals were not his, despite him giving the assist on the first goal for an own goal, but because of him things started to go PSV's way." On Twitter, Boeringa has additional compliments for Ihattaren: "A Greek warrior and German stopper with the decisive goals in Waalwijk, but it was a top talent from Utrecht that breathed life into PSV. These are the weeks of Mohammed Amine Ihattaren in Eindhoven."
Explosive danger
PSV manages to cause a lot of danger in short periods of time in recent matches. Even club watcher Rik Elfrink has noticed this. "Making something out of nothing at all is also an art in itself in football. PSV seems to have mastered this gift almost to perfection. For more than a half in Waalwijk on Sunday, things seemed to be going the wrong way for the Eindhoveners, who ran away from their opponents at lightning speed after halftime for the third game in a row and scored three goals within fifteen minutes," says the journalist in the Eindhovens Dagblad. "The danger of explosion in Mark van Bommel's formation is - in the good sense of the word - enormous."
Malen: 'I'm proud to be included '
Donyell Malen could make his debut with the Dutch national team this coming weekend. "Of course it's a very big thing, the Dutch national team. For that you have to play well every week," the striker said in conversation with NOS. "It is something very good for my development to be with Oranje, you work very hard to achieve this and now I get to be a part of the selection. As a young boy I already watched the Dutch national team, I am very proud to be part of it.
