According to Head Coach Roger Schmidt, PSV definitely still has a chance to reach the last sixteen of the UEFA Europa League in a week's time. The coach was critical of his team's defensive errors, but sees perspective based on the play.
Unnecessary
"We suffered an unnecessary defeat," Schmidt began his analysis. "We gave away big chances too easily and at this level they are punished. That is unacceptable. On the other hand, we scored two goals and that offers perspective for next week. I think it is still possible to go through at the expense of Olympiacos FC."
Development
"I see plenty of development in my team," Schmidt continued. "We have good players, but they are all guys who are not that experienced at this level yet. We make mistakes and, as I said, they get punished at this level. However, we are not being played away either. When I look at the match picture, I see possibilities. We are only halfway through."
Defense
Asked about his team's defensive vulnerability, Schmidt was clear. "Defending is not something of just the back line. You have to do that with the whole team. We will also talk about that with everyone. We are going to analyze and improve where necessary," he concluded.
