Dennis Man27 years old, transferred this summer of PSV From Parma for 8.5 million euros, he has not yet been able to impress in the first appearances in the champion's shirt of the Netherlands. GSP spoke to Aron Kattenpoel, a journalist at Sportnieuws.nlwhich notes the potential of the Romanian footballer, especially the danger he can create through his dribbles, but describes his debut at Eindhoven as “flat”.
Kattenpoel also draws attention to the fact that, despite the serious injury of Ruben Van Bommel, unavailable until the end of the season, PSV is still looking for a new band player. Although there are still options like Ivan Perisic, Couhaib Driouech, Dennis Man and Esser Bajraktarevic, the club management is not fully convinced that the last three variants can cope with the league of the Champions League.
In addition, for the former player of FCSB or UTA Arad it is not an advantage that the team is going through a modest period in terms of results.
“Man does not care that he has reached a team that does not go through a good time.”
“He is a player who puts a lot of danger in his dribbles. I just think he has played a little flat in his first matches for PSV. But he is a good player and we will see this over time. What I find remarkable, however, is the fact that PSV is considering the purchase of another extreme left, due to the injury to the cross ligaments of Ruben Van Bommel (unavailable until the end of the season).
They currently have Ivan Perisic, Couhaib Drioouch, Dennis Man and Esmir Bajraktarevic, but apparently not enough, because yet They are not convinced of the last three when it comes to the Champions League. Nor does Dennis Man do not have the fact that he has reached a team that does not go through a good time, “Kattenpoel said in dialogue with the Sports Gazette.
