Roger Schmidt wants their golden hair to contribute on defense "like Robert Lewandowski."

PSV coach Eindhoven told Dutch media ahead of tonight's game (Saturday, 19:45, Sport4) against Sparta Rotterdam that he expects his strikers to make a greater contribution to the defensive game after he claimed the attacking players caused holes in the defense in a 3-1 loss to Alkmaar.



"Our strikers need to take an example from Robert Lewandowski. He is the best striker in the world, but is busy and moves the whole game as if he has not achieved anything in his career yet," Schmidt explained.

"He works like a horse, not only on the physical side but also on the mental side. He knows he has to bother the defensive players in front of him in the first 20-30 meters. He gives sprints even when he is far from him. It's something I want our strikers to do too. ".

Schmidt meant mainly Zahavi and Daniel Mullen, who rarely put pressure on Alkmaar's defensive players in the last game.

"If they do not chase the opposing players in part of our attack, our connections will also reach their places belatedly. Without pressure from the attacking players, quality link players can dismantle our defense in two seconds."



Schmidt continued to use Lebandowski as an example.

"He's 32, but he keeps getting better defensively. At 21, he didn't know how to do those things. But then Jürgen Klopp worked with him on it, and he changed slowly. But that's something every striker must understand: In modern football you must not take proactive rest. "On the pitch. It's just impossible. If you want to play in the top leagues, you have to be active for 90 minutes, even when the ball is not in your team's feet."
