PSV face the top match against Feyenoord at De Kuip on Sunday, a game that can rightly be labeled as a cracker. During the press conference, head coach Peter Bosz looked ahead and emphasized the focus within his squad. "We only put the pressure on ourselves."
How do you view opponent Feyenoord?
"It's clear how they want to play. You see the style of play and the pressure that Robin van Persie has in mind. At sc Heerenveen he already tried to apply that style of play, and now he succeeds even better with the players he has at his disposal at Feyenoord. They are winning their games; out of the last eight they have won seven - that is just very good."
What kind of game do you expect tomorrow?
"We always want to play attacking from minute one, so now too. Feyenoord might play a bit more conservative, but they also put high pressure in a way I'm used to from Robin van Persie. Let's hope for two attacking teams."
Does the execution of your game become very important now?
"It always is. With our style of play, ball possession is crucial. If we are steady on the ball, we can play under the pressure of any opponent. But if we make mistakes in that, then Feyenoord are highly dangerous. So we have to stay careful and controlled in ball possession, because that is precisely where our strength lies."
How do you go into the duel with Feyenoord?
"From the first minute we want to attack and we will do everything we can to win. The confidence is good. In recent weeks we have been achieving good results, we play well-maintained football, we create many chances and we hardly give anything away."
Are you looking at other clubs right now?
"We focus completely on our own game, that's what makes us better. We only put the pressure on ourselves. The chances of success are greatest when you are fully focused on your own game. You need that sharpness in a top game like this. Everything for us revolves around the question: how are we going to win this match?"
