Tygo Land brings clarity about the future
1 min readAt the start of this season, Tygo Land was loaned by PSV to FC Groningen. After a difficult start, the talented midfielder is now an indispensable presence in the starting lineup for the team coached by Dick Lukkien.
Last weekend, Land scored a goal on behalf of the Trots of the North in the won home match against NEC (2-1). Coach Dick Lukkien said on ESPN that he also hopes to be able to rely on Land next season.
If it were up to Land himself, the midfielder is open to being loaned out by PSV again next season. ''I have of course already played half a season and that is just really good. My plan is to carry that on and to get minutes. It would be great to play another full year in the Eredivisie. If that can’t happen at PSV, a loan is one of the options, yes. I want to focus first on our goal with Groningen,'' the PSV loanee said to the camera of VoetbalPrimeur after the match against NEC last Sunday.

This sounded like a proper PSV mindset, win the ball, move it quickly, and keep the tempo up. Not perfect, but if the young guys keep progressing like this, we are going to be dangerous all season.
Credit to the coaching for the plan, but I wish they were more ruthless in the final third. We have the chances, we just need that one extra pass in the box.
Interesting read, but I'm watching the same thing every week, our best spells happen when the wingers take on their fullback. If that plan is there from minute one, we look scary. If not, it turns into a slog.
Fair play to the coaching, but I think the article overhypes how easily they create chances. Against tougher opponents, that final pass has to be sharper, otherwise it turns into lots of possession with no end product.
Not convinced by the rotation talk. PSV can't just shuffle roles and expect the same intensity, especially in games where the crowd gets nervous if we slow down. I want a stable XI more than experiments.
I like the ambition, but we still look shaky when the ball gets switched fast. If they cant cover the wide channels, teams will punish PSV in the transition.
The bit about their pressing triggers was spot on. When PSV jump on the loose passes, you can feel teams panic. Still, I want to see them do it for 90 minutes instead of fading after the first goal.
Got to give credit where it's due, the midfield looked way more connected. If the article is right about those quick combinations, then it explains why we created better chances instead of recycling possession forever.
I like how they keep mentioning the buildup from the back, but I still worry about the spacing between the CBs and the fullbacks. If that gap is too big, you can feel the counter-attacks coming.
The part about PSV pressing higher actually makes sense. When we win it in their half, the whole game feels calmer even if we concede the odd transition. Last time out we looked more brave, not just frantic.
I agree with the points about the midfield balance, but I worry PSV get too predictable when the fullbacks push up. The article mentions controlling second balls, and they need to do that without losing shape.
If PSV actually trusts the midfield like that, I think the whole game opens up. The build-up looked calmer, and you could feel the press coming at the right moments.
Honestly loving how the article frames PSV as a proper system, not just vibes. If they keep the tempo high and trust the buildup, that defense can look a lot more solid too.
