For a long time PSV struggled against FC Twente on Saturday night, but like earlier against PEC Zwolle and Heracles Almelo, the team left Overijssel with three points. Only in the last minute Santiago Arias made the decision with the 0-2. Unnecessarily, goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet thought. "We had enough chances to decide it earlier."
Important saves
The goalkeeper, once again of great value to the team with a few saves, said this in front of FOX Sports' camera. "We should have rewarded ourselves earlier today, then it wouldn't stay so exciting for the PSV supporters," Zoet said, referring with a wink to PSV's previous narrow victories this season.
Cocu: Have to be satisfied
Phillip Cocu spoke in largely the same words. "The first thirty minutes were very good," Cocu thought. "The goal helps with that of course, but in addition the passing was sharp and movement between the lines was excellent. We created a lot of one-on-one situations, which we didn't get enough out of. We failed to decide the game early."
As a result, FC Twente came back into the game in the second half. The home side pressed PSV back and Assaidi in particular was a plague to the defense. "We had trouble with him, often because we lacked good back coverage. To solve that, I brought on Derrick (Luckassen, ed.) and I felt we had control again since then. We created chances again and eventually decided it. We kept it exciting for too long, but when you resume the league with two away games and two wins you just have to be satisfied."
