PSV Eindhoven's 1: 4 synopsis on Cambour with a goal by Eran Zehavi (Sport 1)
PSV Eindhoven was as close as possible to the home stage of the Champions League. The Dutch runner-up dominated both meetings with Benfica in the playoffs, but the number of misses was in its infancy and after a 2: 1 loss in the duo, the Portuguese obtained the ticket to the senior factory at its expense. The one who was in the spotlight after the 0: 0 last night (Tuesday) is Eran Zehavi, who recorded a big miss in the second half that apparently made the difference between relegation and forced overtime at the very least. Following the dismissal, PSV was denied a guaranteed income of 35 million euros.
"There is mostly a big disappointment," Zahavi analyzed the game at the end. "We deserved to go up after those two games, Benfica a very good team, but I think we were better. Unfortunately, we could not score today. We are proud of ourselves, but in the end we did not meet our goals, so there is disappointment and also a sense of pride."
Zahavi repeated the miss and said: "I can blame myself for not scoring. I do not know if it would have been different or not even if I had scored, but it is always better to put the ball in the net and see later if it is a legal goal. We did not create enough situations, There was a lot of density inside the extension. I think in the end their dismissal worked against us, because they went back and defended with 10 players behind the ball. It was very difficult to break that defense, and we were not sharp enough today. We could not kill the game, and at these levels you It must be done. "
Zehavi signed: "They did everything they could to get the result they wanted. When you play with 10 players you try to do everything to keep the result, which is fine. We for our part had to be smarter in our attack. I had a lot of pressure on the free kick. "The last one. I felt I kicked well, but the ball did not cross the wall. I wanted to do it, but everything went against us today."

"Missing that will cost PSV millions": The network is shocked by Zehavi's miss

The moment of Zahavi's miss
On the "Voetbal Primeur" website, the Israeli was given a score of 5 and analyzed: "After 60 minutes in which he kept a low profile, he finally appeared in front of an empty goal and in retrospect, his kick to the crossbar made the difference between overtime and failure in the Champions League." The website described Zehavi's miss as a "miss of his life", claiming that PSV must sign a senior striker alongside him, "if she wants to do something in Europe".
"For the Dutch league the current striker position can suffice, but if PSV really want to do great things this year, they must sign a striker with a physical presence," they analyzed.
The De Stantor was quick to revive the discussion about a possible return of Luc de Jong, who is known to have been nominated as a candidate to return to PSV this summer. "What about De Jong was still playing for PSV? Or another striker who could break through a defense in the last minutes?", The Netherlands wondered. "Such a goal player would have given an advantage to the runner-up. Even without one like that,There were a lot of opportunities. "
"He is an experienced player, but played in a hurry, carelessly, did not hold the ball in front enough. He just had to roll the ball in, but instead of a soft touch, he kicked with such force that it went to the crossbar."
Missing that changes season.

One who received no less harsh criticism was coach Roger Schmidt.
PSV captain Marco van Hinkel said: "Towards the end we had no ideas how to score. I would have sent some players forward, but the tall guys were left behind. We had to force a bit and it did not happen."
Former player Wesley Sneijder was much more assertive towards Schmidt: "The players did not stand in the right places. Sangra played as a striker at times, Zahavi went back to the link. "Small, keep him on the field even if his ankle is injured. What was important here was to qualify for the Champions League."
