Peter Bosz complains about refereeing… and the Lens victory against Arsenal

Peter Bosz, coach of PSV Eindhoven, found the refereeing very lenient towards the Lens defenders during the draw between the two teams (1-1) on Tuesday in the Champions League.

Peter Bosz retains a bitter taste from his reunion with a French club after the draw between Lens and PSV Eindhoven (1-1) in the Champions League. The Dutch coach regretted that his players did not make the break after Johan Bakayoko’s opener (54th). He was also annoyed by a certain leniency from the referee on mistakes by the Lensois defenders.

A forgotten red card according to him

“Many decisions were in favor of the defenders,” regretted the former Lyon technician (2021-2022). “For example, Malik Tillman struggled, but he also took hits and was not protected by the referee. In the situation where Luuk de Jong is caught, there is only one player left, c “It’s therefore a red card. I suppose we will be better protected in Eindhoven (on our return, November 8, Editor’s note).”

“We are now going to play a home game, so maybe the doubts will fall more in our favor. Either way, the 40,000 fans who made so much noise here today won’t be there.”

“These matches require an incredible amount of energy,” Bosz noted. “It constantly goes up and down. We are less used to it in the Eredivisie. That’s why these kinds of competitions are so difficult and difficult.”

In this contrasting evening, the former coach of Borussia Dortmund and Ajax Amsterdam still noted a positive point: Arsenal’s victory at Sevilla FC (0-2). Which fueled his regrets… about the feat signed by Lens against the Gunners (2-1) three weeks ago. “It (Arsenal’s victory in Seville) is beneficial for us,” he agreed. “It’s a shame that Lens beat Arsenal here. For us, it would be better if Arsenal won everything except us. But we are still in the game.”

After three days, Arsenal are at the top of Group B (6 points) ahead of Lens (5 points), Sevilla and PSV (2 points each).
