PSV coach Roger Schmidt: ‘Ajax reached top level, Dortmund did not’ Football

sport">The man, who called Go Ahead Eagles the best opponent in the Eredivisie a few weeks ago, was sufficient at the PSV press conference for the Europa League match with AS Monaco to announce that Ajax had done well and reached a top level. “Borussia Dortmund has stayed far away from that. That is why it was a marked victory for Ajax”, said Schmidt, who did not want to spend too many words on it.

sport">The next game always counts for the trainer. That is the job against AS Monaco on Thursday, just like Ajax an opponent from the toughest category. PSV have to do without the suspended Ibrahim Sangaré. Olivier Boscagli will therefore probably move to midfield. Armando Obispo would then be the second central defender. PSV misses Ritsu Doan. Ryan Thomas will probably return to the group and may be available for a few minutes.
