Despite quite a few question marks prior to the match, PSV had a good feeling about ADO Den Haag's visit to Philips Stadium. The visitors were sent to The Hague with a 4-0 defeat. 'We made it look simple,' said Eran Zahavi.
Enjoyed
The Israeli scored his first Eredivisie goal on behalf of PSV. After 15 minutes he shot his team into the lead from the spot. After Donyell Malen was substituted at halftime, he wore the captain's armband and saw Zahavi lead PSV to a 4-0 win. "I enjoyed the game and the fact that I got to play again," he told FOX Sports after the game. "It was far from easy for us this week. There were new Corona infections almost every day. In addition, we had to give everything on Thursday. If you then play like today, you can be proud."
Easy
Although ADO Den Haag could not enforce much, Zahavi especially wanted to highlight PSV's performance. "Easy games don't exist in football. We made it easy for ourselves by playing smart football," he said and was joined by Mario Götze. "We have football in our team. And a lot of potential. It really can be a lot better, I'm convinced of that," the German said. "The boys and the technical staff are working really hard. I play football with a lot of fun."
