PSV Eindhoven, the team of Romanian Dennis Man in the Netherlands, won an absolutely dramatic match in the Eredivisie, with a score of 4-3 against Heracles Almelo.
The Romanian midfielder started and played only 61 minutes for the Dutch team, which narrowly avoided a major embarrassment on Saturday evening against a modest team. Man did not contribute to any goal-scoring opportunity, and at the end of the match, coach Peter Bosz expressed his displeasure with the players’ attitude, a sentiment also shared by captain Jerdy Schouten.
“It's impossible to play well in so many matches. We showed very good football for half an hour, but it bothers me that we didn't continue the same way. In such matches, it's difficult to take the lead, but it happened twice.
At those times, I expect the boys to finish the match in a way befitting a top team. Of course, we've had matches in the Champions League and we're approaching the winter break, but we need to do better. We are a top club, so you know you'll play many matches. We want to go far in the Champions League. When you drive a BMW, you expect it to work very well even in winter. It's a top brand, and we are PSV, we are also a top brand,” said the PSV coach, according to sportnieuws.nl.
PSV remains the leader in the Netherlands, with 43 points after this match, holding a 9-point lead over Feyenoord, the former opponent of FCSB from the Europa League, whom the Romanian champions defeated dramatically 4-3 on Thursday.
The Sofascore portal gave Man a rating of 6.5 for his performance. The Romanian attempted 4 shots, but none were on target: two off-target, one blocked, and one hit the crossbar. Man had an 86% passing accuracy (18 out of 21). He managed only one successful dribble out of 3 attempts.
