PSV stakeholders have a chance for Eredivisie Player of the Year title
1 min readPSV became champions of the Netherlands for the third time in a row this season, and the team led by Peter Bosz had a lot to thank for this to an outstanding Ismael Saibari and Joey Veerman. Both key players for PSV have therefore also been nominated for the Eredivisie Player of the Year award.
Despite a mediocre start, Saibari was especially important in top-tier matches for PSV. For instance, he was responsible for a hat-trick in De Kuip against Feyenoord (2-3) and PSV was able to count on him after going behind 0-2, when they won 4-3 against FC Utrecht on 4 April of this year.
In addition, Veerman this season provided no fewer than fourteen assists for the formation of Bosz and both players therefore also seem to be leaving PSV next summer. The other nominees for this award are Ajax player Mika Godts, NEC’s Tjarron Chery and sc Heerenveen player Jacob Trenskow.

"PSV Inside" straight up called it... if the fullbacks push, the winger has to stay tight and track. Otherwise that space behind them is free real estate 😅🔥
"PSV are at their best when they press high" oké maar dan moet Veerman ook echt vooruit blijven staan. Anders trekt iedereen terug en wordt die pressing zomaar een loop-actie. 🤬
De Jong is not a DM and tbh PSV need him higher or he becomes too passive in build-up. I want more direct passes to the wings, not another slow recycle.
Eens. But i swear, if they keep wasting those wide chances, Heerenveen or Ajax will punish them instantly. 2-0 would have been fairer, ngl. 🔥
Eens. Im already worried about how the fullbacks will handle quick wingers. PSV are at their best when they attack the space early, not when they recycle it.
That buildup looked clean early, but when the tempo drops, PSV lose the second-ball fight. Xavi Simons is the spark, but we still need someone to be brave in the half-spaces. 👀
No way that quote about "control" is true if the fullbacks keep stepping up and getting exposed behind them... 🤡 We need better cover, tbh.
If PSV really want to press like that in the first 20 minutes, Luuk de Jong has to do more than just hold it up. The midfield is going to need energy next to Schouten, otherwise you get bypassed so easily.
Volgens mij is dit weer zo'n PSV-setup waarbij de 10 te weinig ruimte krijgt. Met Tillman die steeds naar binnen zakt, moet de rechterkant wel sneller aangevallen worden anders wordt het voorspelbaar. 🔥
If PSV starts with that same high press again, i just hope the midfield can actually win the second balls. Because if they dont, it will turn into a quick counter-fest for the opposition...
That midfield balance is not convincing me tbh. If they invite pressure again, their build-up will get strangled fast.
