PSV coach Peter Bosz on replacing Dennis Man at half-time against Bayern: 'I already had this change in mind before'

The Dutch technician explained that he did not want to risk a more serious injury to the Romanian international.

“Dennis indicated from the first half that he doesn't feel fully recovered, so we were cautious with him. It was a game based on transition, and in such moments, the wings are usually not the most effective at recovery.

However, Ivan Perisic is an exception, and Noah Fernandez also does very well in this department. We already had this change in mind before the match,” Bosz said, according to Voetbal International.

Even though the result was a poor one, Bosz had only words of praise for the rest of his students, impressed by the way PSV went toe-to-toe with the likes of Bayern Munich.

“We feel we could have achieved more. In other games maybe we could have faulted the boys, but today that's not the case. I played spectacularly against an absolutely top team.

We were not far behind them, we only missed the decisive moments. This is the football that people want to see,” added the technician.

For PSV, the duel at home with Feyenoord follows, on February 1, at 15:30. In the event of a victory, he takes a serious option to win the title.
