The Boeren claimed an emphatic 7-0 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/ADO-Den-Haag-c38221 on Saturday, and the 65-year-old tactician has nothing but praise for his troops’ exceptional performance.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven head coach, d**k Advocaat, was extremely delighted following his side’s exceptional 7-0 win over ADO Den Haag at Philips Stadion on Saturday, February 2.
The Eindhoven giants commenced proceedings at home brightly, and opened up the scoring within the opening nine minutes of action through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Georginio-Wijnaldum-c14629. However, the home side failed to hit the target any further in the remaining action of the first
45 minutes, and the Dutch trainer admitted that his troops did not make good use of their goalscoring opportunities.
“We started brightly but only converted one of many chances”, Advocaat was quoted as saying to the club’s official website.
The former Borussia Monchengladbach boss went on to reveal that he only asked his troops to continue playing their own game in the second-half during the half-time break.
“I told the lads at half-time to keep on playing our passing game and tire them out. I saw some classy passing and finishing in the second half. It’s a great win but there’s always room for improvement”, Advocaat concluded.
After the break, the home side resumed a bit slowly, but gained momentum as the game progressed. In the 57th minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dries-Mertens-c11679 extended his
side’s lead further by hitting the target.
Jeremain Lens’s strike made it 4-0 in the 66th minute, while Jurgen Locadia added his name to the score-sheet in the 80th minute. Mertens netted his second of the evening five minutes later, while Wijnaldum completed the impressive
7-0 victory by hitting the target only a minute before the full time whistle.
Maurice Steijn, the ADO boss, was disappointed to see his side suffer such a humiliating defeat, but admitted that the Eindhoven giants completely outclassed his troops on the pitch.
“PSV have simply outclassed us”, Steijn said while talking to journalists in the post-match press conference.
The Boeren remain unmoved at the summit of the Eredivisie table, three points clear of the second placed, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233.
