FC Emmen 1-0 PSV: After the departure of Cody Gakpo and Noni Madueke, Anwar El Ghazi has risen in the hierarchy at PSV, but the attacker is not yet able to take his team by the hand. Also on a visit to FC Emmen (1-0 loss), El Ghazi did not have his sights set.
A goal from Lucas Bernadou was enough for Emmen to win over PSV, which played with ten men for a long time due to a red card for Mauro Júnior. “With all due respect to Emmen, but this should not happen,” El Ghazi sipped in front of the ESPN camera. “That is obvious. We have collectively failed. Everyone should look in the mirror anyway. Everyone knows very well what they did right and what they did wrong. We must rectify this as soon as possible, this is unworthy of PSV. That’s just not possible.”
Honest words from Anwar El Ghazi
Despite a great chance, El Ghazi remained dry for the sixth Eredivisie match in a row. The 27-year-old attacker put his hand in his own bosom. He continued, “I’m in scoring position, which is good in itself, but I have to score. You will be charged for that. I didn’t, I’ve missed a lot of opportunities lately. I’m trying to keep a cool head, but things need to get better soon. I have to score quickly to help the team.”
“I think I just have to stay calm and focus,” continued El Ghazi. “But if I get a hundred percent chance and I miss… Then I just have to score. You can’t control that, it’s not like I’m doing it on purpose. I’m trying my hardest. My sights are not yet fully focused and I could certainly have scored five goals in the last three or four games, if everything went well.”
El Ghazi concluded with an apology to the PSV fans who made the long trip to Drenthe. Apologies to the supporters who traveled for two hours. He mentioned, “We have to make sure that we become more stable and not drop points in Emmen after a victory against Vitesse.”
