Ernest Faber felt that PSV had unnecessarily lost by another point after a tumultuous Sunday. 'Then he shoots that ball into the crossbar, a goal he will never score again. Then it turns out, everything is against,' he said at the post-match press conference about Haris Vuckic's equalizer.
Unnecessary
Misery, misery, swooning, plodding. After the draw against FC Twente, the reviews from the media were not pretty for PSV. Ernest Faber's team had to make do without Steven Bergwijn, who, according to the interim coach, was not motivated enough to play for PSV because of a transfer. Without him, PSV came out fighting and took the lead, but a red card for Ibrahim Afellay made it 1-1. Unnecessary Faber thought. "It wasn't super great, we had the opportunities to get a businesslike victory," the coach said. "The tipping point was the red card for Afellay. That should not be an excuse. Earlier we should have decided it."
Bergwijn
Afterwards, however, it was mostly about the Bergwijn situation. Immediately after the match, Faber indicated that there is still no agreement between clubs. "I received a phone call that his head was not quite there," Faber said of Bergwijn. The interim coach respected that choice, but also said it could have been done differently. "For example; I want to end it nicely and then make a super transfer."
