Bosz fears Bollaert

Bollaert, “ a phenomenal atmosphere »

Having been through the French championship, Peter Bosz knows that there is a very special atmosphere at the Bollaert stadium. “It’s a bit like the team’s style: intense! said the PSV manager at a press conference. The public pushes their team, it’s a phenomenal atmosphere, I like experiencing this kind of thing. Arsenal lost here, there are things happening at Bollaert. » The Gunners know something about this. Will the Dutch be next on the list? Response in a few hours…

Bosz, how we meet again…
Ligue 1 followers inevitably remember him. Coach of OL for a little more than one season, from May 2021 to October 2022, Peter Bosz has led PSV since last June. With success so far. The Batavian technician therefore knows what to expect when arriving at Bollaert. “I know this team a little, I have already played against them. It’s a good team, he observed. There were departures but good players arrived. They are a very strong team since they returned to Ligue 1, they have progressed. »

PSV, “ a complete team and in great shape »

Gradit sounds the alarm!
Beware of overconfidence for Northerners! This is the message that Jonathan Gradit wanted to convey before this third European meeting. “We hear about the match against Arsenal in the street but there are still four matches leftrecalled the Sang et Or central defender. We’re going to have to put out a great match otherwise we’re going straight into the wall. It will take personality. PSV are first in their championship, they have only conceded three goals. »

Haise wary of PSV
The superb performance against Arsenal does not turn the head of Franck Haise, who remains on his guard before welcoming the undefeated Eredivisie leader (9 wins in 9 matches). “It’s a team that has real experience in the Champions League, it outperforms its championship which is ahead of ours in the UEFA coefficienthe warned. His game is based on attack. It’s a complete team and in great shape. Faced with them, I’m not sure we can take the initiative anymore. »

The probable composition with Wahi

Wahi back on the Lensois side
Franck Haise confirmed on Monday, he will be able to count on an almost complete squad against PSV. “There is no uncertainty apart from our long-term injured”, declared the Artesian coach at a press conference.
