PSV racked up a famous win against Liverpool in their final league phase Champions League match, but coach Peter Bosz was left annoyed by something.
The Eredivisie side made the play-off rounds with a 3-2 win against an understrength Reds side, but they still impressed their coach in many ways.
Yet one scene didn’t – an act of showboating at the end of the match as his players began flicking the ball around rondo style.
“I thought it was terrible. It really annoys me,” Bosz began.
“It’s misplaced, they shouldn’t do that. It was a kind of rondo they played there, with a back heel and a no-look pass.
“If I had been in that position I would have sawed them off below the knees. You just shouldn’t do that. I don’t think it’s respectful to the opponent.
“I haven’t spoken to them about it yet, but I will. I do like entertaining the crowd, but in a different way. I think we would have entertained the crowd before without all that craziness.”
Aside from that one moment, Bosz did have plenty of praise for his team, adding: “I watched it with great pleasure. I understand very well that it wasn’t the best Liverpool team, but there was still a lot of quality on the pitch.
“We tried to play our best football against that. Hopefully we succeeded. Not everything went well, I also saw enough things that need to be improved, but they were beautiful goals, those by Johan (Bakayoko, ed.), but also those by Ismael, and we achieved a good victory.”
