The veteran Dutch trainer insists that his side staged a brilliant show to claim a 3-1 win over FC Groningen, while revealing that it is not an easy task to crush http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-c31222 Maaskant’s side at Euroborg Stadion.
PSV Eindhoven head coach, d**k Advocaat, was extremely pleased with his side’s 3-1 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Groningen-c39119 at Euroborg Stadion on Sunday, August 26. The Dutch mentor admitted that his troops staged a good show, and deservingly secured
all three points at the end.
“FC Groningen are a hard working and stubborn team that is hard to beat, but we managed to do that. We were comfortable with the ball after the break, passing it around and creating some fine chances. Quality in front of goal separated
the two sides”, Advocaat was quoted as saying to the club’s official website.
The veteran tactician, who took over the managerial hot seat at Philips Stadion earlier this summer, went on to express his satisfaction on his side’s defensive prowess, and revealed that everyone played their role perfectly to
secure the win away from home.
“We deserved the victory and hardly conceded chances, which is a good thing”, Advocaat concluded.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dries-Mertens-c11679 played a neat through ball, and the stopper
made no mistake in chipping the ball over the advancing goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luciano-c22574, into the back of the net.
The Eindhoven giants continued to dominate proceedings on the pitch after the half-time break, and doubled their advantage in the 77th minute through Mertens. Kevin Strootman’s pass found the Belgian ace at the edge
of the box, and the pint-sized winger made no mistake in hitting the right corner of the net.
Twelve minutes later, Memphis Depay added his name to the score-sheet to make the score-line 3-1. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mitchell-Schet-c26105 scored a consolation goal in the 89th minute, but it was too little too late for the home side to change
the outcome of the game.
PSV will battle against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar in their next league encounter at Philips Stadion on September 2.
