Noah Fernandez received De Frederik on Saturday night. The seventeen-year-old midfielder made his debut for PSV 1 against PEC Zwolle (4-0) and received the honor from Earnest Stewart after the game.
Noah Fernandez has been at PSV Academy for 11 years and his PSV time tonight reached its peak so far. The left winger with great insight and technical qualities came into the field in the 80th minute for Ismael Saibari and got the chance to show his qualities. He is experiencing a season not soon to be forgotten: on August 11 he made his debut for PSV U21 in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie against FC Emmen and less than two months later he is now making his first minutes for PSV 1.
The creative midfielder, who can play several positions, already went to training camp with the main squad this summer and also received several calls from the Belgian Football Federation for various youth teams.
De Frederik
Noah is the second debutant this season, after Joël van den Berg, to receive De Frederik. It is an award for Academy players who make their debut for the main squad. "I actually wanted Noah to fill in for three or four weeks, but it always didn't work out. He actually deserved it for much longer, because he is performing really well with us," Peter Bosz told me.
The Frederik is an initiative of GoodHabitz.
