PSV coach Peter Bosz is looking forward to the clash against Ajax in round 11 of the Eredivisie. The coach looked ahead to the first-v-second match at the Johan Cruijff Arena on Saturday afternoon.
Last season, the fixture in Amsterdam ended 1-1, while earlier that season PSV had previously won 5-2 at home. For Bosz, the 1-1 draw last season was proof that Ajax should never be underestimated. Especially, as injuries have accumulated for the reigning Eredivisie champions as Adama Nagalo, Sergiño Dest, Jerdy Schouten, Joey Veerman, and Hirving Lozano are all out. He told the press:
“It will be a top match. We noticed that last season. They had a dramatic season, unworthy of a top club, but it still ended 1-1. We had a lot of injuries then, we have those on Saturday too. Something is coming back to them, you can see that.”
Speaking about a pleasant gap in the fixtures, where Ajax had (of course) faced Feyenoord in De Klassieker, Bosz continued:
“The fact that we didn’t have a match in the middle of the week is nice for once. We were able to train well towards Ajax.”
Acknowledging Ajax’s return to form under Francesco Farioli, the PSV manager addressed the competition that the historic capital city club provide.
“As far as I’m concerned, everyone can lose everything and we can win everything. But I understand that it is good for Dutch football that Ajax is back.”
