ESPN draws a hard but incorrect conclusion: ‘Luuk de Jong must also be replaced’

The painful draw against sc Heerenveen has caused a lot of criticism and consternation among analysts and journalists.

Hard nuts are cracked at ESPN, the NOS and in the various newspapers after the 3-3 against the club from Friesland. It is sometimes astonishing and startling at the same time how professional analysts and journalists go along with the issues of the day. A less or unexpected result quickly leads to meaningless black and white conclusions.

After PSV – Heerenveen, Kenneth Perez thinks that Luuk de Jong’s period at PSV is well over. Where earlier this month the captain received plenty of compliments for his very good month of April in terms of figures, it has now turned completely the other way.

Perez thinks that PSV should continue to select. The buzzword ‘select through’ covers nothing more than selling players and buying new players. A fact that happens throughout the year. “Luuk de Jong must also be replaced,” it sounds at ESPN about Luuk de Jong. Never write off Luuk de Jong, is the message for the PSV captain. We should also not be surprised if Luuk de Jong shoots or heads PSV in Alkmaar ‘just’ to second place.

According to Kenneth Perez, PSV must continue selection:

“Luuk de Jong must also be replaced”
