The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roda-JC-c40375 coach optimistic ahead of his side’s clash against d**k Advocaat’s men, and urges his troops to put in their 100 percent if they are to achieve a good result.
On Dutch Eredivisie match-day 2, Roda JC Kerkrade will travel to Eindhoven to battle against PSV at Philips Stadion on Saturday, August 18.
Ruud Brood, De Koempels head coach, is optimistic that his side can achieve a positive result away from home should they perform at their best.
De Limburgers commenced their 2012/13 campaign with a 1-1 draw against the newly promoted Eredivisie outfit, PEC Zwolle, at Parkstad Limburg Stadion on August 11.
Although, the stalemate can be regarded as a disappointing result for the Kerkrade outfit, it is not as below par as the Eindhoven giants’ 3-2 loss at the hands of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/RKC-Waalwijk-c40370 last weekend.
A brace from Rodney Sneijder coupled with a unfortunate own goal from Wilfred Bouma secured a hard fought win for RKC over PSV while goals from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jeremain-Lens-c18323 and Tim Matavz go in vain.
However, the Roda JC boss has admitted that PSV are a far superior side than the Waalwijk outfit.
“http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luciano-c22574 Narsingh”, Brood was quoted as saying to Voetbal International.
The Dutch trainer went on to insist that PSV always plays aggressively after conceding defeat in the previous match.
After the opening encounter defeat, PSV will play aggressively. Moreover, they will be playing at home, in front of a pack house. Ola Toivonen’s return will also boost their chances of emerging victorious. However, it is up to us how well we can play football
under pressure. I think, I believe that we can surprise PSV. But we need to play daring football”, Brood concluded.
Pride of the South had a meagre 2011/12 campaign, finishing tenth on the league table. However, the former RKC head coach is keen to guide his side to a top six finish, and earn UEFA Europa League ticket at least.
