Tygo Land 's first starting place was immediately one to remember. In the UEFA Champions League match against Liverpool FC, he played excellently. The young talent was a real pain in the midfield for the English team. Johan Bakayoko was eventually voted Star of the Match.
Despite Liverpool FC coach Arne Slot not bringing his usual base players, the match against the English was certainly not an easy one. Tygo, however, managed to hold his own amid the footballing violence and his statistics underline that.
On his starting debut for PSV, the midfielder immediately showed what he has to offer. With three successful dribbles and eleven passes that initiated an attack, he was a constant threat to the opponent. His attacking intentions also spoke volumes; with 30 passes forward, he played an important role in the team's creative play. He also stood his ground defensively. He blocked two shots, made four tackles and worked the ball away from his own sixteen once. Despite the physical nature of the match, he kept his cool; he made only one foul and got one in himself.
Passing
In terms of his passing, he was reliable and effective. Of the 43 passes he sent, 35 found a teammate (82%).
With his impressive contribution to the 3-2 victory, Tygo gave a nice calling card in his first starting place for PSV 1.
