Aad de Mos is full of praise for Erick Gutiérrez. According to the retired coach, the Mexican midfielder was the great star during PSV’s won top match against Ajax (1-2). “He is so valuable to the team,” said De Mos.
“PSV was very good at the ball, unlike Ajax,” says De Mos in the opposite direction Eindhovens Dagblad. “Ajax played very sloppy and constructively was very poor. How did that happen? That was of course due to PSV’s good positional play without the ball, which plays much better as a team than in the period under Roger Schmidt.”
De Mos saw Gutiérrez excel on Sunday in the Johan Cruijff ArenA against Ajax. “In the position of strategist, my favorite came into its own again, that is the trainer on the field. In those matches Gutiérrez plays an 8. He is so valuable and important to the team. Then it functions best. He is so important for PSV,” said De Mos.
Whether PSV can now also take a shot at the national title with Gutiérrez? Yes, certainly”, says De Mos. “But beware: Feyenoord is also just hooking up. They now get two games that they are sure to win, at home against SC Cambuur and at home against Excelsior, so they go with the flow. I think that after PSV – AZ on November 14 we have to conclude that there are three title candidates.”
