PSV Women face a topper in the Eurojackpot Women's Eredivisie next weekend. In Rotterdam the team takes on Feyenoord, the current number three of the league. Roeland ten Berge 's team occupies second place itself, which gives the game extra charge. After a long period on the sidelines, Fenna Kalma has rejoined the squad and is looking forward to the second half of the season with motivation.
Before the winter break the mutual duel in Eindhoven ended in a 1-1 draw. On Sunday, PSV Women and Feyenoord meet for the fifth time in history. PSV won twice, drew once and lost once. Strikingly, PSV Women remained unbeaten in the last three meetings. In March 2023 it was 1-1, in November of that year PSV won 0-2 in Rotterdam and the most recent meeting, in December 2024, ended in a convincing 1-4 victory. On behalf of PSV at the time, Melanie Bross, Riola Xhemaili and twice Chimera Ripa were goalscorers.
Focus on recovery and patience
After a long period on the sidelines, Fenna Kalma is especially happy to be able to reconnect and look ahead. "It wasn't frustrating, that's the wrong word," she reflects on her recovery. "The team wants to win every game and my goal was to get physically fit enough again to really contribute to that. Those goals were not on the same page for a while, but fortunately I was able to see that separately." That mindset allowed Fenna to focus entirely on her recovery, without unnecessary pressure. "That way I didn't get frustrated that I wasn't on the field yet."
Looking forward to the second half of the season with confidence
The striker is now looking forward to what is to come. "I'm looking forward to hopefully making it a nice second half of the season," Fenna said. The duel with Feyenoord is particularly appealing to her in that regard. "Sunday is a nice game that I'm looking forward to. It will be make or break and I think we have something to make up for last time. I thought we were much better than them then." PSV Women will therefore travel to Rotterdam with confidence and motivation, ready to turn that feeling into a result.
