Peter Bosz is disappointed with PSV's first defeat of this season. The losing coach is particularly shocked by what he sees as the arrogant attitude of his players in the 3-1 away match against NEC on Saturday.

“Because we played dramatically bad football today,” Bosz added afterwards ESPN answer to the question why PSV's undefeated streak has come to an end. “We ended up at 0-1 against the odds. Then we got a little more grip. But when you see how we conceded the 1-1 and gave away the goals after half-time… “

“And Luuk de Jong missing a penalty, you can actually see that the entire match,” sighs the very disappointed Bosz. “It wasn't good enough. I was shocked by that, because I have never seen my team like that. At times I also thought it was haughty, almost arrogant. Not based on anything, because we have to work hard and put intensity into matches.”

“But you play at a very low pace and you lose a lot of ball. The will to win was much more evident at NEC and that is why they rightly won this match,” the PSV coach does not fail to mention to his colleague Rogier Meijer to give compliments.

Thunder speech at halftime

Bosz was not satisfied at halftime, when PSV still led 0-1 in Nijmegen. “I already told you then that I didn't like it. And then you see that it is often very difficult to turn around. And after the match I also told you again that we did not get to the top this way and neither will stay at the top this way.”

“That has to change. And then I assume that, they are not stupid and not very young boys, that they understand exactly what I mean by that. That we will just do what we have been doing all season, with the right attitude. because that is what it is ultimately, the matches are going to be played,” Bosz tells his group of players.

“And then you can also lose, that is always possible. But not like this,” said the coach of PSV, which last lost in the Eredivisie in January 2023. At the time, FC Emmen was too strong for the Eindhoven team with 1-0. This was followed by 42 consecutive matches without defeat.
