PSV Eindhoven head coach, d**k Advocaat, has expressed optimism ahead of his side’s upcoming UEFA Europa League clash against SSC http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 at Philips Stadion on Thursday, October 4.
The veteran Dutch trainer has heaped praise on the Serie A outfit, and has admitted that the Azzurri switches their game play from defence to attack very impressively.

boss coolly answered that he only wants to see his side claim a good result at home regardless of the fact that who plays and who does not.
“To be honest, I don’t care too much. They are a good team and we must get a good result. I expect http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 to be highly-motivated”, Advocaat added.
The 65-year-old tactician will have to do without the services of Tim Matavz, Jetro Willems, Zanka and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Orlando-Engelaar-c28669, as all four are sidelined due to injuries.
“Willems and Zanka need more time to shake off injuries, while Engelaar is troubled by foot injury. Matavz has been ill. He will resume full training tomorrow. We will see if he is fit enough to be called up for Sunday’s squad”, Advocaat added.
Wilfred Bouma, who has thus far represented the Boeren in over 50 games since returning to Philips Stadion in the summer of 2010, will be starting the game at the left-back position, and the former Dutch midfielder has admitted that the 34-year-old is a
genuine defender.
“He is a genuine defender, while Ritzmaier has attacking ideas. I have decided to hand a start to Bouma on Thursday”, Advocaat concluded.
