The Eindhoven giants suffered a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Fred Rutten’s men on Sunday, and the veteran Dutch tactician has admitted that his side’s missed opportunities cost them three crucial points.
PSV Eindhoven head coach, d**k Advocaat, was satisfied with his side’s performance on the pitch against Vitesse Arnhem at Philips Stadion despite losing the game 1-2 on Sunday, November 25.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 boss admitted that his side missed couple of decent goalscoring opportunities that cost them three crucial points at the end.
“We usually show clinical finishing in front of goal, but today we missed the chances we created. And these missed chances proved costly. We were guilty of missing some gilt-edged chances in an entertaining game. I can’t possibly blame the players”, Advocaat
was quoted as saying to journalists in the post-match press conference.
The Boeren commenced proceedings at home brightly, and grabbed the lead within five minutes of play through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonathan-c18993 Reis.
Both sides remained deadlocked in the remaining action of the opening half. After the half-time break, the visiting side resumed action impressively, and threatened the Eindhoven giants’ defence on numerous occasions. Eventually, they managed to take the
lead in the 74th minute, when Wilfried Bony found the back of the net on a Reis pass.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 tried to restore parity before the full time whistle, but failed to hit the target, and the game ended in a disappointing defeat.
Advocaat was all praise for the Arnhem outfit boss, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fred-c14136 Rutten, and admitted that his side can compete for the Eredivisie title if they keep on performing impressively come the end of the season.
“Vitesse coach Fred Rutten must be a happy man. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitesse-c40905 can score goals out of nothing, which makes them title-contenders”, the Dutch trainer concluded.
All three points ensured that Vitesse keep their third position on the league table intact. On the other hand, PSV remain unmoved at the summit of the Eredivisie table, two points clear of the second placed, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 Enschede.
PSV will travel to Amsterdam to play against Ajax in their next league encounter on December 2.
