Set to face Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday at 9 PM in the Champions League, PSV Eindhoven is determined to stick to its playing philosophy. They have no intention of adapting to PSG’s style of play or their attacking threats on the flanks.
Olivier Boscagli’s teammates (26 years old, 2 matches in the Champions League this season) are not planning to cede possession to the Parisians; PSV aims to play its own game at the Parc des Princes.
« We know they are a team that plays well and likes to keep possession, » commented the versatile defender. « But we also know they have players who can make a difference at any moment. It’s up to us to neutralize them, keep the ball, and make them run. We know they enjoy having the ball and making their opponents chase. And we like to do the same. »
« Are we afraid of leaving spaces at the back? No, we’re not afraid. We’ve been playing this way for a year, a year and a half now. I don’t see why we would be scared to play like that today, » responded the former Nice player.
