7 saves: Lukas Jungwirth was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.
Market24 Sep 2035
Ismaël Baouf asks to leave PSV
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
The dugout24 Sep 2035
The manager makes an example of Tijjani Reijnders
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
Match23 Sep 2035
AZ take the points off PSV
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

When it matters, Alexander Isak plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Ryan Frimpong to a room that had heard them before.

Tijjani Reijnders does not fit this one
Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.
Market24 Sep 2035
The Lukas Jungwirth talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. PSV know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
Looking ahead24 Sep 2035
Anass Zarrouk faces his old club
NAC Breda next, and one man in the PSV dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.
In brief
- Squad Bas Weghorst, 18, gets his chance
- Player ratings Isak Jensen runs at them all day
- Squad Iliman N'Diaye speaks, and the room listens
