PSV Eindhoven - The Rise of the Boeren


​

PSV is one of the Holland's "big three" clubs who have dominated Dutch football (and who are the only three clubs that have never been relegated from the top division).

The club was founded in 1913 as a team for Philips employees. PSV’s history contains two golden eras revolving around the UEFA Cup victory in 1978 and the 1987–88 European Cup victory as part of the continental treble in 1988. The team has won the Eredivisie 22 times, the KNVB Cup nine times and the Johan Cruijff Shield nine times. Currently, PSV is 28th on the UEFA club coefficients ranking. Throughout the years, PSV established itself as a stepping stone for future world class players like Ruud Gullit, Ronald Koeman, Romário,Ronaldo, Jaap Stam, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Arjen Robben.

Since its foundation, it has played in the Philips Stadion and has upheld its club colours (red and white). Its elaborate connection with Philips can be witnessed in its sponsoring, shared technology and board member ties. Fans have named themselves 'boeren', Dutch for either peasants or farmers), taking pride in Eindhoven's status of being a provincial city and their Brabantian heritage.

TACTICS


​

I have decided to go with a solid 4-3-2-1 formation which will allow me to control the ball in midfield, all while having three solely attacking players higher up the pitch.

I feel as though the key to a good side is being balanced tactically: to me this means an equal share in responsibility between the goalkeeper, back-four, midfield trio, and strike-force. I don't condone the theory that a good team can be one that scores goals aplenty, but cannot defend to saves themselves; or vice-versa. In order to conquer the Eredivisie, and ultimately Europe, we must build brick-by-brick - and this starts with a nice, balance formation.

I will however be open to the option of pushing a midfielder into the hole behind the striker, should the situation allow or require.

The key characteristics or my tactics (I hope), will be:

• High possession
• High chance creation
  
• Limiting the opposition to any easy chances
