Van Bommel: PSV are strong, hard to decide
who to support August 15, 2013 | by Meytar Zeevi under News MARK VAN BOMMEL believed both PSV
Eindhoven and Milan got a hard draw and is still
not sure where his heart is. Its been almost a week since Milan learned that
theyll play against PSV in the final Champions
League qualification stage (first game on August 20
at Philips Stadion, second game on August 28 at
San Siro) and preparations are in full swing. Milan and PSV have a history and one player who
played for both sides is Mark van Bommel. The
Dutchman spent just a year and a half at Milan but
was a big fans favourite and he believes that the
PSV-Milan games will be tough for both. Balotelli set to be fit for PSV Eindhoven challenge Trabzonspor make 2 million Antonini offer The Champions League play-offs will be difficult
for both PSV Eindhoven and Milan. There have been
many changes in the PSV squad, and they have
many young players now, Van Bommel told the
Milan Channel. Milan dont know how PSV play. All
their players run a lot, but Milan are Milan. Theyre still a great team and they also have many great
players now. PSV is a young team that are very strong and fast
in attack, and they have a very young defence. It
will be a very interesting match to watch because
Milan are the opponents, and who honestly knows
what will happen? Adam Maher is PSVs best player,
and hes the one to keep an eye on. He can score in one minute, and hes a very talented player Itll be
difficult for Milan because PSV is a young team with
a lot of desire to run and attack. What can I say to
PSVs fans? Milan are Milan. Milan have Boateng, Balotelli and other players
that I was fortunate enough to play with. Their
defence is also strong, otherwise they wouldnt
play for Milan. PSV arent happy that they were
paired with Milan. Nigel De Jong? He is a good
player. I played with him in the national team and we reached a World Cup final together. De Jong is
very similar to me. He had a very serious injury, but now he has
returned to being strong again. Nigel is a great
person, and its always better to have him as a
team-mate than as an opponent. Urby Emanuelson?
It wasnt easy for Emanuelson to come to Milan. He
was in England last season (loan spell at Fulham), and now he must take a step forward in his career.
Everybody wants to play for Milan even if you have
to change your position. You just have to be happy
that youre wearing the Milan shirt. If I will support Milan or PSV? I hope that the best
team wins. I played at Milan for a year and a half,
but it feels like I played there for 10 years. It was
really nice and thats also why I cried when I left. I
played 7 years for PSV, but I think that the best
players that I played with were at Milan, even though they all left last year. Its really difficult for
me to decide who to support. Only one team will go through, Van Bommel
added. Mark finished his career wearing the PSV
shirt; he hung up his boots at the end of last season
and it was in a very Van Bommel-ly fashion with a
red card. MvB played 50 games for Milan.
