Zoet guilty
Jeroen Zoet stuck his hand in his own heart after the lost match against Internazionale in the Champions League (1-2). "It was a shitty night," Zoet told Veronica. "I just have to keep standing, then it will never be a goal. I'm involved in those two moments. At Champions League level, that gets punished. You have to turn the knob then and I'm proud of the team and what we put up. At the end of the line, however, you also want a nice result, that didn't work out."
Rosario on goal
Perhaps the most talked about PSV player of recent weeks Pablo Rosario scored his first goal on Wednesday. Despite the lost match, he could still look back on it with satisfaction. "I was very happy. I now have a number of games at PSV behind my name, but I hadn't scored a goal yet. Then today was the moment, I am very happy about it," NOS Sport quoted him as saying.
Italian newspapers about PSV
In mostly positive terms, Italian newspapers analyzed PSV's play. La Gazzetta dello Sport wrote, "The team is potentially deadly in attack, but not foolproof in defense. The result was an open match in a stadium where you feel the presence of the 35,000 fans on the pitch." Corriere dello Sport emphasized Lozano in particular. "PSV relied on the Mexican star's talent Hirving Lozano, but Inter seized three important points partly due to poor passing from goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet."
Hendrix feels aggrieved
A remarkable moment five minutes before halftime. Steven Bergwijn was played deep and then wanted to tap the ball past the outgoing goalkeeper Samir Handanovič. The Slovenian goalkeeper parried the ball with his hand outside the penalty area. The referee penalized it with a yellow card and a free kick for PSV. Jorrit Hendrix disagreed, he told PSV TV. "In my opinion, the goalkeeper should have already been taken off with a red at a 1-0 score. The referee doesn't give it, but in my eyes it's just a red card if you make hands as a goalkeeper outside the sixteen meter."
Van Nistelrooy wants to cross borders
In the Youth League, PSV O19 did manage to win. Coach Ruud van Nistelrooy's team was trailing 1-0 for a long time, but two goals in the final minutes turned the game around. That enthused the coach. "We had to stay calm and keep playing our game. We lacked that in a number of other matches. When we were behind or tied, for example, one person would try to keep the tie and the other would enthusiastically put pressure to go over. Now there was really one idea and everyone executed it. In possession, without possession. Fantastic that that is rewarded." The former striker was particularly pleased with the dueling power and fierceness of his team. "If you want to win, you have to ask each other to sometimes go over boundaries to make a difference," the Eindhovens Dagblad noted from his mouth.
