Impressing on his debut in the starting lineup: Malik Tillman did it on Saturday. In the home victory over FC Volendam (3-1), the American made his mark on PSV's attacking play, and was also of value defensively.
Defensively involved
Malik came over on loan from FC Bayern Munich in the summer and started in the starting lineup for the first time on Saturday. He played the entire match, gave an assist and also managed to score. So he was back on the scoreboard, but also stood his ground defensively. The American did not hesitate to fight a defensive duel with his direct opponents. None of his teammates did this more often.
