Imperturbability. Mark van Bommel has been hammering on that attitude in his players for weeks. No matter which team it meets, PSV must always be able to do the same. Against Willem II, the coach saw an imperturbable performance from his team. A fine one at that: 6-1. "You can see it in the boys. They want to."
Traffic light
Van Bommel said this at the press conference at Philips Stadium. "Winning 6-1 after a European week in which you qualify for the Champions Laegue, a week in which we hear on Thursday that we are going to play against three top clubs. Then a home game against Willem II is not just easy," continued Van Bommel, who disputed that he expected motivation problems. "Far from it. But players come to the bakery, stand still at a traffic light and then only hear things about the Champions League."
Compliment
"We didn't start well either, got a big chance against," Van Bommel observed. "But after that we played the way we want to play. With nice attacks. I have to compliment the players with the way they want to play football. You also notice that in the crowd. They appreciate it. But we can do better. We can keep up this game even longer, execute even better. But well, if you win 6-1," the head coach finally laughed.
