These PSV players make the biggest impression on Sven Mijnans, who in turn is impressed by PSV’s first days.

He has only just become a PSV player, and so Peter Bosz takes care of Sven Mijnans in a certain way. The multi-million-euro signing brings many new impressions, and so the head coach let him go a bit over the past few days. Not too many conversations, not too much being around, and granting the player in question a bit of freedom and room to move.

Bosz is confident that his million-euro signing managed to weather his first minutes in the PSV shirt well. The midfielder came on during the friendly against Raków Częstochowa (3-2 win) and is impressed by the level in Eindhoven. At AZ, Mijnans has been through plenty, but the midfielder notices that there are big differences between the two clubs. That is exactly why Peter Bosz is being cautious with his new midfielder.

Mijnans also told, in conversation with multiple media, that in particular he is quite impressed by two teammates. Mauro Júnior and Joey Veerman, as Mijnans says in conversation with different media. "Those are two players of whom you see that they are very comfortable with the ball. But a lot still needs to crystallize for this season. Right now it’s still a bit of searching, also because many players are returning from the World Cup. The patterns will come naturally. It’s a lot of pressing high and not ending up in a low block", he says to Eindhovens Dagblad.

Mijnans was already close to a move from AZ to PSV last year, but at the time the transfer fell through, which gave him a number of difficult moments, including several tough experiences with the technical director of AZ who has since left, Max Huiberts. A year later, everything worked out. "That was a tough period. It was going to be a really big transfer and the blow was hard, because I felt I was ready for that step."

"At the moment that Ismael Saibari was sold, in PSV's new financial year, the club immediately made contact. For me, this is a very interesting challenge, because PSV has been playing in the main tournament of the Champions League for years. I’m going to experience the difference in intensity between the Europa Conference League and that competition now," said PSV's million-euro signing Sven Mijnans.
