Joey Veerman played a great match on behalf of PSV against FC Zurich yesterday and UEFA noticed that too. The midfielder from Volendam scored two goals and one of them has a chance to win the prize for Goal of the Week in round four of the Europa League. In addition, Veerman himself is one of the four nominees for Player of the Week.
There are four players who can be named Player of the Week in round four of the Europa League. In addition to Veerman, these are Vitor Oliveira from SC Braga, William Bøving from Sturm Graz and Francis Uzoho from Omonia Nicosia. Each of the four players was important to his team and Veerman was certainly not the only one to score twice. Oliveira even did that three times on behalf of Braga, who drew 3-3 against Union Saint-Gilloise. With two hits, Bøving single-handedly ensured that his Sturm Graz drew 2-2 at Lazio and Uzoho as an Omonia goalkeeper seemed out of place for the Manchester United players.

The PSV playmaker, who was lined up as number ten in the Philips Stadium on Thursday evening, has a chance to win another prize. UEFA has also nominated four goals for the Goal of the Week award. Veerman’s 4-0 against Zurich, where he finds the far corner after a combination through the axis from the edge of the penalty area, has a chance. Emiliano Martínez of FC Midtjylland against Feyenoord is also a contender, as is a beautiful goal by Alexander Sørloth of Real Sociedad and the cunning free kick by Trabzonspor attacker Enis Bardhi.

With the double encounter against Arsenal, Veerman has an opportunity to show himself at the highest level. He finds it difficult to estimate what PSV can bring. “With all due respect to Zurich, but I don’t think this was of the level of Arsenal,” the Volendammer said to the Swiss after the game. “Then we will probably be a little less on the ball and we have to muster the discipline to do it as well as possible. It has to be seen whether we can touch that level. I don’t think we have such a match yet this season. good opponent.”
