Bosz once again taken through the mud: “This is simply an impulsive act”
1 min readBesides Ruben van Bommel, coach Peter Bosz also had to take a lot of flak from some analysts and reporters after the match Ajax - PSV (1-3). After the match, Bosz went deeper into the foul that Van Bommel committed around the eighty-minute mark on Ajax player Aaron Bouwman, who was penalized with a yellow card by referee Sander van der Eijk.
Reporting on Noa Vahle, there is little understanding for the reaction of the coach after the end of the won match in Amsterdam. Vahle does not hold back her opinion about Bosz’s reaction on the program De Oranjezondag on SBS6.
Van Bommel enjoyed the protection of Bosz, and this was also not lost on the reporter. ''If, as a coach, you take it a bit up for your player, I understand that. It was not the intention—I understand very well that he says that. You can also start with: come on, this should have just been a red card,'' said Vahle.
Analyst Theo Janssen shares that view. ''This is simply a reckless act and it is clearly a one hundred percent red card,'' Janssen says.
Still, Janssen believes that Van Bommel did not intend to seriously injure Bouwman. ''He goes in so recklessly and with so much force. At that moment, his body is the weapon'', the analyst concludes.

Yeah but intent matters tbh. Janssen nailed it saying it was chaos not cruelty, yet the tackle still screams red. The only question now is will Bosz calm down or keep defending everything next week? 👀
Eens. Als Bosz zegt dat het niet de bedoeling was, prima, maar dan nog blijft het fel en gevaarlijk. Rekenen op "rode kaart zou moeten" is geen haten, tbh.
"Zijn lichaam is op dat moment het wapen" vind ik wel de kern eerlijk. Je ziet het niet als stoer doen, maar als risico creëren. Brengt PSV dan alsnog voordeel door zelfverdediging? ajax-PSV altijd vuur, maar dit is gewoon rode-criteria.
"Dit is gewoon een onbesuisde actie" bruh, that quote is spot on. Dont care about intent, the body as a weapon is exactly what makes it dangerous. 💀
Janssen: "onbesuisde actie" en "honderd procent rode kaart" klinkt logisch. Alleen idd, je kunt boos zijn om de reactie, maar de intentie lijkt niet gericht op blessure. Toch had die kleur kaart gewoon niet geel mogen zijn.
Theo Janssen saying 100% red is the correct take. Cant protect a guy after the whistle like that, especially when it hits as hard as Bouwman's reaction showed. 🤬⚽
Bosz die het opneemt voor Van Bommel snap ik, maar lol... bij dit soort overtredingen wil je gewoon een professioneel statement, niet discussie over "bedoeling". 😂 Als Janssen het "100 procent rood" noemt, dan is het toch klaar?
Bosz getting grilled while PSV won 1-3 is wild, but honestly Vahle and Janssen arent wrong. If the challenge has that impact, you can argue straight red all day. Still, i think Van Bommel did it on anger, not to seriously injure.
Red card should've been the end of it. If you're going in with that kind of force, it isnt "just a foul" anymore.
