PSV Eindhoven’s Fred Rutten believes his side still has a lifeline – Dutch Eredivisie News
PSV Eindhoven have not much hope of lifting the Eredivisie title after losing three crucial points against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 manager, believes that his
side still has a fair bit of chance to be crowned Dutch champions.
After losing from De Stadionclub, PSV have dropped to third place in the league table. The Boeren are now trailing the league leaders, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AFC-Ajax-c38228 Amsterdam by three and two points respectively. With only six points left
to grab, PSV’s chances to lift the league title are unlikely to come.
Nonetheless, Rutten still believes that in the remaining weeks of the season anything can happen. He admitted that his side’s chances are now unlikely to come, but they can lift the title if the other two title contenders lose points in their upcoming clash.
Rutten said, “After losing from Feyenoord, we are no longer in control of the league, but there is still a straw. We could only become champions if Ajax and Twente lose points this weekend.”
“The pressure is increasing and we all know. We must try to play good football in the remaining encounters. If we win both of our fixtures, we will then definitely play in the Champions League next season, and this team certainly deserves that”, he concluded.
PSV would be boosted with the news that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Orlando-Engelaar-c28669 would be able to feature in the upcoming clash. Engelaar was sent off in their match against the Rotterdam outfit, when the referee showed a straight red card to the mid-fielder. However, the Dutch
FA’s disciplinary commission has dropped the case and lifted the suspension from the mid-fielder earlier on Tuesday.
Rutten’s men will play against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Groningen-c39119 in their remaining encounters of the season. PSV will host the outfit from Arnhem at the Philips Stadion on Sunday, May 1, and travel to Groningen to face the Green-White-Army at the Euroborg
Stadion on May 15.
Rutten will be hoping that the Tukkers and the Amsterdammers lose points in their upcoming respective encounters. Meanwhile, his troops secure maximum points in the remaining clashes to enhance their chances of lifting the Eredivisie title.
