The former Borussia Monchengladbach boss has urged his troops not to take the upcoming Eredivisie game lightly, and has insisted that his side must put in their 100 percent if they are to bag all three points.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VVV-Venlo-c40915 ahead of his side’s upcoming Eredivisie game at Philips Stadion on Saturday, March 2.
The veteran Dutch tactician has admitted that the Venlo outfit poses a strong threat on the counter-attacks, while they play extremely compact defence that makes difficult to create goalscoring opportunities.
“They play a compact defence and try to score in the counter-attack”, Advocaat said while talking to the media in the pre-match press conference.
Venlose Trots, who are currently sitting 17th in the league standings, are heading into the game on the back of two successive victories. They claimed a hard fought 1-2 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/NEC-c40018 Nijmegen away from home while cruised to a comfortable 1-0 victory
over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/RKC-Waalwijk-c40370 at De Koel Stadion on February 23.
And the Dutch mentor has admitted that the Venlo outfit will be brimming with confidence about getting a good result at Philips Stadion, while urging his troops not to underestimate the visitors.
“They earned an away victory at N.E.C. and beat RKC Waalwijk at home recently, so we should not underestimate them. We must prevent their counter attacks and be clinical in our finishing again”, Advocaat added.
The Eindhoven giants received morale boosting news from their medical staff ahead of the game, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ola-Toivonen-c28363 has recovered from his hamstring injury that forced him out of the action for the past four months.
And the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 boss has hinted that the Swedish ace might get a chance to show his skills at Philips Stadion on Saturday against the struggling VVV.
“He took centre stage after having shaken off a severe hamstring injury. He may be handed his first start after a four-and-a-half month layoff. We’ll take a decision tomorrow”, Advocaat concluded.
PSV are currently sitting at the summit of the table, only two points ahead of the second placed, Ajax Amsterdam. Advocaat would be hoping that his side manages to claim all three points, and retain their position as the league leaders.
