PSV is a topic of conversation. Always and everywhere. On Mondays and Thursdays read all the news you don't want to miss. In the coming weeks, extra attention to the Copa America, with Andrés Guardado, Héctor Moreno, Santiago Arias and Luiz Beto da Silva.
Excellent start Mexico; red Guardado
Mexico has made an excellent start to the Copa America. In the first group match they won 3-1 against Uruguay, on paper the strongest opponent in the group. The 1-0 came from a cross by Andrés Guardado, who did not finish the match. The PSV player received his second yellow card in the second half, at a time when Uruguay was already playing with ten men. The second yellow card in particular was heavily penalized. The second PSV player in the Mexican selection, Héctor Moreno, played the entire match.
Wins for Arias and Beto
Santiago Arias also started the tournament well. With Colombia, he won 2-1 against host country United States. Arias played the entire match. Peru won 1-0 against Haiti. PSV U21 striker Luiz Beto da Silva was substituted in extra time.
Orange beats Austria
The Dutch national team ended its practice trip with a victory. Last Saturday they beat Austria 2-0. Jeffrey Bruma was the only PSV player in the starting lineup, in the second half there were substitutions for Luuk de Jong, Marco van Ginkel and Luciano Narsingh. De Jong had the assist on Georginio Wijnaldum's 2-0. The first goal was scored by Vincent Janssen.
Zoet injury not too bad
Jeroen Zoet could not finish the game with Austria after a collision with Marcel Sabitzer. The injury does not seem to be too bad. "It concerns a bruise at his knee," national coach Danny Blind told Eindhovens Dagblad. Jeroen Zoet was preferred to Jasper Cillessen at the Ernst Happel Stadium.
Bruma 'top trio' for Wolfsburg
Bruma is at the top of VfL Wolfsburg's wish list in capital letters, according to De Telegraaf. The Germans see in Bruma the ideal reinforcement for the defensive center, following the departure of Naldo to Schalke '04. The transfer fee, which according to the morning newspaper is around 15 million euros, is not an insurmountable objection for the wealthy Germans.
De Jong looks at Lukaku
According to the same newspaper, PSV head scout John de Jong was in the stands for Lukaku Sunday at the friendly international match between Belgium and Norway (3-2). Not striker Romelu Lukaku of Everton, but his little brother and left-back Jordan Lukaku. Jordan earns his living at Belgian number five KV Oostende. According to De Telegraaf, he would be a good replacement for Jetro Willems should he leave PSV.
Run on farewell shirt PSV
Omroep Brabant reported last Thursday that the last PSV shirt with Philips on the chest is already almost completely sold out. More than 10,000 shirts have already been sold. The shirt, on sale since early April, is in its third printing. That is also the last pressing. "It is a bestseller," a PSV spokesperson says. "Only a limited number of sizes are still available.
