The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 boss was pleased with his side’s 5-1 win over SC Heerenveen, and was all praise for his troops’ fine display on the pitch throughout the 90 minutes.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Heerenveen-c40463 at Philips Stadion on Sunday, November 11.
The Dutch trainer admitted that the Friesland-based club put in a decent show in the opening 15 minutes of play, while adding that his side remained the better unit on the pitch throughout the game.
“Although we were in control, Heerenveen threatened our goal a few times in the opening quarter of an hour”, Advocaat was quoted as saying to the media in the post-match press conference.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luciano-c22574 Narsingh managed to restore parity in the 23rd minute.
Although, the Eindhoven giants could have taken the lead after levelling the score-line, they failed to hit the back of the net again until the half-time break with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Strootman-c20775 and Narsingh firing wide of the target while Tim Matavz’s tame effort failed
to trouble the visitors’ goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brian-Vandenbussche-c8073.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Georginio-Wijnaldum-c14629 doubled his side’s advantage in the 62nd minute. Matavz then rounded off an impressive evening by netting twice in the final 10
minutes of play.
Advocaat hailed Mertens’ impressive strike, while stressing that his troops remained focused right from the first whistle until the end of the game.
“Mertens´ goal was a bit lucky, but we know he is capable of scoring such a peach of a goal. And then Heerenveen´s resistance was finally broken. The lads stayed focused throughout the 90 minutes”, the Dutchman added.
PSV snatched the top spot on the league table from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitesse-c40905 following a goalless draw earlier on Sunday.
And Advocaat has stressed that his side’s impressive performances thus far this term is mainly due to their continuous hard work.
“It looks so easy but it requires a lot of dedication and hard work”, Advocaat concluded.
