Nicolai Boilesen was able to speak to the press in Dutch after PSV-FC Copenhagen. The Danish ex-Ajacied saw his team go to rest with a 1-3 lead on Thursday, but after a bizarre football night it ended up 4-4 in Eindhoven.
The first half was for the Danes, after rest PSV came back in the game. “4-4 was the way it should be,” says Boilesen in conversation with ESPN. FC Copenhagen had to do without its three strikers in Eindhoven, but PSV — with midfielder Pep Biel in the front — still managed to hurt. “And we could have made a few more,” Boilesen laughs. “We have three strikers at home, who are not allowed to play. But in the end, that wasnt the problem.”
After one half, the decisive Danes sat on roses. “I think we surprised them a little in the first half, created a lot of opportunities, actually have to make a few more for rest. Im proud of the guys, we did our best, but Im a little dissatisfied with the second half.”
FC Copenhagen and PSV will repeat in Denmark on 17 March at 6:45 p.m. In between, PSV is still playing out against FC Utrecht.
