After the pair in 2: 2 against Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Eran Zehavi will host tonight (Wednesday starting at 7:40 p.m., live on Sports1) Alkmaar to an intriguing top-flight battle and will hope to register a victory that will temporarily lift them to the top of the Dutch league. Ahead of the game, Zahavi received big compliments this morning from Budwin Zanden, who serves as attacking coach at the Dutch club and is known to have played during his career at big clubs such as Chelsea, Barcelona and Liverpool.
Sunday He recounted Zehavi’s start at PSV: “He came from a league at a different level, looked for himself professionally and then fell ill in Corona and then got injured. “Extra after training is over. Eran is really a training animal. He reminds me of Frank Lampard. He too would have been left with a bag of twenty balls and just kicked to goal, so the duo against Ajax really didn’t surprise me. If you invest, it pays off.”
“Eran is an experienced player who has scored a lot of goals during his career,” he continued Sunday The 44-year-old: “People can say he scored ‘only’ in the Israeli league or the Chinese league, but even there someone has to put the ball in the net and he did it.” Finally, the former Dutch player referred to the cooperation of Zehavi and Malen: “It stood out well against Ajax, they saw that they know how to get along. They are both used to playing as individual strikers, so they needed time to coordinate with each other and work on it more in training.”
