PSV’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Derk-Boerrigter-c10972 believe their respective clubs will fight for the title
PSV Eindhoven and Ajax Amsterdam played out a 2-2 stalemate at Philips Stadion on Sunday, September 18. Dries Mertens and Derk Boerrigter, who play at the left wing for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 and Ajax respectively, believe that their clubs will battle for the Eredivisie title
this season.
After dropping two crucial points in the weekend’s match against the Dutch champions, the Boeren have remained unmoved in the league table, occupying the fifth spot. The Eindhoven giants trail the league leaders FC Twente Enschede by a mere four points,
after six rounds of football.
Although the Tukkers are currently leading the Eredivisie table, Mertens believe that the Enschede giants would eventually fall short in the race.
“We will play for the Championship against Ajax. Twente will drop out. The most I regretted of in the match against the Dutch champions was the opportunity miss that could have given us a 3-1 lead. I counted on my effort, but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toby-Alderweireld-c35183 cleared the
ball of the line”, the Belgian ace said while talking to the journalists.
Meanwhile, Ajax were lucky to secure a point while playing away from home; twice they had to equalize against the run of play. The Amsterdam giants dropped down a place to third on the league table and trail the league leaders by a solitary point.
Boerrigter believes that the departure of Bryan Ruiz to Fulham will certainly haunt http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 as the season progresses.
The 24-year-old was not satisfied with his performance against PSV in the weekend’s encounter and revealed that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stanislav-Manolev-c33925 held him back and kicked him frequently.
“I played the entire game against a defence especially Manolev who held me and kicked me frequently. But the fact remains the same, you should be decisive for your side. That did not happen against PSV. Nonetheless, we have a good team and a solid selection.
We can become champions”, Boerrigter was quoted as saying to the media.
Only time will tell whether FC Twente manage to compete for the title or drop out from the race.
