Willem van Hanegem draws rock-solid conclusions about the individual quality at PSV after the lost top match against Ajax (1-2). The columnist of the General Newspaper Joey Veerman found one of the bright spots in an otherwise not very uplifting team. “When I see PSV, I really wonder how it is possible that this Ajax is still so close to the people of Eindhoven after half of the competition,” said the team. the curve.

“Veerman will quickly become one of the best players, you can see that right away,” says Van Hanegem. “But he will also be shocked by how mediocre his fellow players in reality turn out to be. When they asked him what was so different at PSV, he said this week that he received groceries after training. It would have been nice for PSV if he had He said he was sick of a top-level rondo, incomparable with sc Heerenveen.”

Van Hanegem mentions a number of names that disappointed him at PSV. “I have always stood up for Joël Drommel, but it is now time for him to show that he is really good enough to be PSV’s first goalkeeper. Armando Obispo is constructively dramatic, Olivier Boscagli is a little better at that, but he can “Do not defend. That Erick Gutiérrez was very often not allowed to participate at PSV, I understand that when I see him play. And Cody Gakpo is a talent, everyone sees that. But in these kinds of top matches you want to see something more of it” and that didn’t happen at all.”

On the side of Ajax, Van Hanegem noticed something remarkable about Edson Álvarez. “By the way, have you seen that Mexican at corners against? He goes with his hands behind his back like an idiot and pushes his head and upper body against opponents. No, of course that is not allowed. And it irritates. Me anyway. “
