The Brazilian excelled in the game with the Nijmegen formation. He already received the necessary compliments from Head Coach Peter Bosz, which are supported by the statistics. Both as a man-marker and on the ball, he was of great value in the 4-0 victory
Duels
PSV only conceded one goal in the league so far. Also against NEC, where the counter remained zero, the defense was a lock on the door. Statistics show that André challenged his direct opponent(s) more often than his teammates.

Passes
The best player of the evening, is how Bosz described his central defender. Not only did he show himself to be a good reserve captain by determining who was allowed to lay on for the penalty, which led to the fourth goal, he also stood out on the ball. Nobody delivered more passes than André, almost half of which (44%) were played forward and many of which actually reached a teammate (89%).
