Where almost all European football clubs play cup or competition matches this week, PSV visit Premier League leaders Arsenal in London tomorrow night. A catch-up game in the Europa League.
As a Manchester United striker, Van Nistelrooij has already fought bitter duels with Arsenal. For example, in 2003 there was the Battle of Old Trafford. Van Nistelrooij missed a penalty in stoppage time – after much deliberation. Had he used it Arsenal would never have been undefeated champions.
British media frequently asked Van Nistelrooij about the game on Wednesday, but that doesn’t do much for the current PSV coach: “The opponent is completely separate from those games from twenty years ago. We want to show what we’re worth. Maybe the best team in Europe.”
PSV will do that without Luuk de Jong, Mauro Junior and Noni Madueke from the start. The three return from injury and travel to London, but start on the couch.
The game between Arsenal and PSV was supposed to take place on September 15 but was canceled due to the death of Queen Elizabeth. Despite a game in hand, Arsenal and PSV are first and second in Group A ahead of Bodø/Glimt and FC Zurich.
PSV coach Ruud van Nistelrooij considers another tactic to contain Arsenal: “Arsenal are in form but we will do everything to make the best of it. You’re thinking about playing a different line-up decision.” You. You have your training moments where you can train things.”
“A defender, an attacker there. Or the same thing. Anything is possible,” said Van Nistelrooij, returning to his own time in the Premier League. “The league was then decided with Chelsea and Liverpool and everyone else, but the infamous games against Arsenal are the ones that stick out the most.”
After years of misery, Arsenal fans finally have something to celebrate this season. After ten games, they lead the Premier League with nine wins and one loss, four points clear of closest pursuers Manchester City.
For Arsenal, who last won the championship in 2004, it’s the best Premier League start ever. The season is still long, but little by little the fans can hope for a better finish than in previous years. Arsenal’s nickname, The Gunners, finished fifth last season. The relays before that were eighth, eighth, fifth, sixth and fifth.
The 2016/17 season is the last season Arsenal played in the Champions League. It broke a nineteen-consecutive-season streak in the billion-dollar ball. A hard blow for the 2006 finalists, who saw the gap to other top clubs increasing, partly due to the loss of income.
