Following that, Dumfries talked about his transfer to the Philips Stadium. "I feel fantastic. PSV is a great club with a beautiful stadium, where many top players played in the past. I found that when I used to watch the club on TV. I have worked hard to be able to stand here and will do everything I can to succeed. What can be expected of me? To win duels from my direct opponent, I just like that. I want to show that winner's mentality to the supporters. I want to go flaming."
