After the elimination of PSV in the Europa League, Theo Janssen is critical of Pablo Rosario. The midfielder did not intervene properly prior to Olympiacos’ decisive goal, the analyst said. RTL7. After a cross from Konstantinos Fortounis from the left flank, Rosario was too easy to beat, according to Janssen. Ahmed Hassan eventually scored the decisive goal.
“Yes, it is a shame”, says Janssen about the elimination of PSV. “I thought PSV had a reasonable control over it. In the last fifteen minutes you see that they are pushed further into their own sixteen meter area, and then you get such a goal against … Zuurder it cannot be. “Rosario initially formed a couple with Georgios Masouras, who, however, walked away from him. Rosario then ran out of man and walked back towards Youssef El-Arabi, unable to prevent El-Arabi’s header, after an intervention by goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo, Hassan scored from the rebound.
“Look at Rosario. He just loses his man. He loses the head duel. You should never lose the head duel that he enters into,” says Janssen. “He was unhappy, to put it mildly. He just plays a lot of balls to the wrong color.” According to the former midfielder, Rosario is in a ‘lesser phase’, in which he is ‘very sloppy and loses duels that he should not lose.’ “Now it’s going to be dear. He can’t lose his man there. He just has to jump into him, then there’s nothing wrong. Now it will cost you the next round.”
“The block with Ibrahim Sangaré should provide more control, but that does not happen. They are too sloppy on the ball. Then it is nice that you pick up the second ball every now and then, but those are usually balls that you hand in yourself”, said Janssen, who also provides light criticism for Donyell Malen’s performance. “He was looking for a goal, you could see that very clearly. He often went for his own success and could have played more simply. But he is a very good player.” Malen was close to 3-0 just before the 2-1, when he hit the post from a distance.
