Nottingham Forest 1-3 http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fred-c14136 Rutten delighted with the win - Eredivisie news
Fred Rutten, PSV Eindhoven manager, is delighted with the 3-1 friendly win over Nottingham Forest at the City ground on Wednesday, July 27. The Dutch trainer praised his players’ efforts on the field and was looking optimistic for the upcoming season.
The Boeren took on the English second tier outfit at the City ground in their pre-season friendly match. PSV played aggressively right from the start of the encounter and their aggressive intent paid off early through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Georginio-Wijnaldum-c14629, whose furious shot
found the back of the net. However, the lead proved short-lived as Paul Anderson headed home an equaliser barely two minutes later.
Both sides fought hard in the remaining action of the opening half, but failed to take the lead. However, the visitors outclassed the Forest in the second-half by scoring two goals in quick succession. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dries-Mertens-c11679 scored the second of the evening for PSV
in the 68th minute, while Wijnaldum sealed the game in the 74th minute by netting his second to make the score line read 3-1.
Rutten was extremely delighted with the results but revealed that his side still needs to improve a lot if they intend to become Dutch champions in the new season.
“I am quite happy with the result. I am very pleased with the implementation, especially when we had the ball. In some stages, we played impressively”, Rutten said while talking to the journalists.
Since Rutten’s appointment, PSV have failed to book a UEFA Champions League berth. The 48-year-old was appointed as the Boeren head coach in 2009/10 season. In his debut season at Philips Stadion, his side managed to finish third in the league table, losing
out to brilliant http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 Enschede and Ajax Amsterdam for Champions League spots.
In the 2010/11 season, PSV performed exceptionally under the Dutch trainer and dominated the league proceedings for a better part of the season. However, their erratic showings in the last few weeks saw them finish third in the league table yet again.
The Dutch trainer knows that he has to win silverware in the upcoming season, with his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 at Philips Stadion being on the line. The tactician has achieved good results in the pre-season matches and the future is looking a lot rosier for PSV than the last
couple of seasons.
