The Dutch press analyzed the performance of Dennis Man (27 years old, right wing) in the game Olympiakos – PSVscore 1-1, from round number #4 in the main phase of the Champions League.
Given that Dennis Man was going through a very good period in the shirt of PSV, the Dutch had high expectations from the Romanian international in Greece.
However, the performance of the former FCSB player was not the best. He was not able to be as effective as in the last games and was substituted in the 58th minute. This was also noted by the Dutch journalists.
What the Dutch wrote about Dennis Man, after Olympiakos – PSV: “He didn't make his presence felt”
“PSV's right winger has looked very good in recent weeks, but this time he didn't make his presence felt. The Romanian somehow looked helpless before being substituted before the 60th minute“, wrote the Dutch from Voetbal.
The same publication rated the Romanian international with 5.5. Sergino Dest, the weakest in the Dutch camp at 4.5, got a much harsher description: “often defended like a headless chicken, was the weak link and was dribbled 5 times in the first half”.

It was the 11th match played by Dennis Man in PSV's shirt in the current season. During this time, he managed 4 goals and 3 assists. After the first 4 matches, the Romanian team is in 17th place, with 5 points.
PSV will have a hellish schedule in the League: Liverpool (away), Atletico Madrid (home), Newcastle (away) and Bayern Munich (home). In the championship, Man's team is in second place, with 28 points, tied with Feyenoord, but with a lower goal difference.
