PSV watcher praises talent: 'A powerhouse'

1 min read

PSV is on a training camp in Germany and Peter Bosz has brought along the necessary talents. Besides Noah Fernandez, Joël van den Berg is also part of Bosz's selection, and according to PSV watcher Tim Reedijk of Voetbal International, there are plenty of opportunities for Van den Berg during this training camp.

Reedijk writes in Voetbal International. According to the journalist, the midfielder is one of the talents who can clearly demonstrate his qualities to Peter Bosz.

''Van den Berg is a powerhouse, a box-to-box midfielder who last season against PEC Zwolle (6-1) already had a start and showed his face further in a number of substitute appearances'', Reedijk begins about the midfielder.

Last year, the midfielder therefore made his debut and it was a special moment. ''PSV picked up Van den Berg and Koller and therefore saw them both already make their debut for the first team. A special moment for Van den Berg and father Peter, who are PSV supporters'', the journalist writes.

In addition, Reedijk thinks that the departure of Ismael Saibari to FC Bayern Munich could also create more opportunities for Van den Berg. The uncertainty surrounding Joey Veerman and Mauro Junior, according to the PSV watcher, could also play a role.

''For Van den Berg, these are important days at the German hotel Klosterpforte, because he knows that Bosz has a new puzzle to place in his midfield now that Ismael Saibari has been sold, Sven Mijnans has been signed, and in the coming weeks the options in the contracts of Joey Veerman and Mauro Júnior can theoretically be activated by interested clubs, provided that those clubs also end up in the right pool with the players concerned'', that’s what the reporter thinks.

Nevertheless, people do not expect PSV to rush the development of the midfielder. "At the same time, patience is being preached in Van den Berg's circle, and it is mainly about his development curve—more even than about a quick breakthrough," according to Reedijk.

I think the article underestimates how important set pieces are for PSV this season. If we are serious about consistency, we need clearer routines defensively too. Otherwise its gonna be another year of close calls and stress.

🔥🔥🔥 Til the wings start delivering a real end product, i dont wanna hear excuses. Gakpo/Saibari have to convert chances, not just create them.

"PSV Inside" has it spot on about the pressing triggers. When the front three jump together, the opponent panics. When one of them lags, its chaos.

Ngl this tactical take is spicy. If the article is saying we should push the fullbacks higher, fine... but only if the double pivot actually covers the space behind them. Otherwise itll get cooked.

If PSV want to win the league, we need more control in midfield. Right now it feels like we switch off for 10 minutes and suddenly they are through.
