At the press conference ahead of the game with Fortuna Sittard, head coach Peter Bosz emphasized that underestimation is not an option. "It is not a snack." In addition, he spoke positively about Johan Bakayoko, who himself indicated he would like to make minutes at Young PSV.
Is there hope for the title again?
"I'm not concerned with that right now. I am focusing on what is within my control: the four remaining duels. I want to win all of those - we have that in our own hands."
What is the state of the selection?
"Ismael Saibari is still not here tomorrow, but that will be fine. Rick Karsdorp is also missing. Armando Obispo, Sergiño Dest and Olivier Boscagli have resumed training and will be available again tomorrow."
Why did Johan Bakayoko play with Young PSV recently?
"Johan is a true lover of the game and wanted to get minutes with Young PSV himself. That typifies him as a person; he is a true professional."
It talks a lot about intensity in football. How do you look at that concept?
"In modern football, often the higher the level, the higher the intensity. But intensity isn't just about running hard; it's also about speed of thought. If you look at the number of miles run, many teams are about the same. The difference is in the intensity at high speed."
How do you look ahead to the duel with Fortuna Sittard tomorrow?
"I certainly don't consider the duel with Fortuna Sittard as an interlude. We are well aware that we have to win if we want to achieve anything. A game against Fortuna is just as important as the one against FC Twente. We have had enough time to prepare, so it is up to us to show tomorrow that we are there."
