Let's talk about Shakhtar's rival.
In the spring of 2023, PSV entered the Guinness Book of Records with a 110-point partnership with Phillips.. No one in the world of sports has produced a triple-digit number of rocks from one sponsor.. Neither Ronaldo, nor Romario, nor the names of Van Nistelrooy and Niles in Eindhoven would never have happened, as if one local Dutch brand was not on par with the world.
The importance of Phillips for Eindhoven is so great that the place itself is called the Place of Light. As early as 1891, the cotton dealer Gerard Phillips discovered that light bulbs were very promising, and created a business from their production.. At that time, tungsten had not yet begun to work, Edison patented a lamp with carbon fiber - and Phillips began to start a business, it is important to understand what the scale is for the Dutch. In 1900 the population of all of Eindhoven became. 4730 osib.
As you realized, the business became successful, grew, and workers from all over the Netherlands flocked to Eindhoven. Early on, for the children of the ancestors, the place remembered school, a little later – sports Maidans, and 1913. Once again you have already realized that you yourself.
But the trial of 1913 was different - before Phillips founded the football team of 1910, but not far away. Then the new test survived the problems of the First World - problems of such a scale that the first serious matches and tournaments had to be scratched. The club celebrates the 31st sickle as National Day – the day of cleanliness in the Netherlands and the defeat of the French in the Napoleonic wars. Before the first match, a symbolic kick on the ball was given by Frits Phillips, the nephew of Gerard Phillips, who still plays a great role in the history of the Eindhoven club.
It’s not true, the plot of the “tradition”, the slowness of cooperation with a private sponsor from generation to generation strongly discords with the plot of the purchase of “plastic” clubs on the Red Bull and Goffenheim base? Those who love and love the memory of businessmen in Eindhoven - this is how businessman Dittmar Gopp is portrayed for those who “dared” to spend part of the special, incredibly honestly earned money?
History remembers more than the survivors. At the beginning, the way and PSV were no more than “that other team from Eindhoven” - FC Eindhoven was more important than the traditional and popular in the area. The “light bulbs” themselves didn’t take off in the big time, until 1928, for example, not allowing anyone to play for them other than Phillips spivs. Before the speech, less tradition, as before, is small on the basis of greater inclusivity: the founders of the company have very little Jewish connection, and the plant hired Jews out of satisfaction.
Back in the thirties, FC Eindhoven was the strongest club in the city, and then any tournaments began to mean no more than the supernation of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff for points. Phillips began to experience its darkest hours, and the Netherlands fell under the blanket of the worst occupation in history.
It is especially difficult to talk about the spying of the company with the occupation administration - of course, the Nazis were able to overpower the workshops of this company for the needs of the Soviet Union.. But for Frits Phillips, who at that time became the president of the company, the main figures of his life were “382 from 496”.
Frits first converted the Fritz to the fact that all Jewish practitioners are absolutely irreplaceable, then helping them to hide in such a manner, giving the opportunity to see most of them, is beyond description:. The main cities, melodiously, can be called the title of the Righteous Among the Nations (founded in Israel for people who worshiped the Jews), recognized by the “Dutch host of the century” in 1999 and renamed the arena.
The war ended, football became professionalized, and Phillips had long since become a system-creating enterprise in the city - and already in 1944, it was withdrawing loans for infrastructure upgrades.. FC Eindhoven will win one title after the war, but not without flights, to take over another division of the Netherlands - perhaps again. So - perhaps, one day - the “light bulbs” were recorded on the list of eternal grandees of the Yeredivisie next to Ajax and Feyenoord. The situation with PSV was such that in the first Champions Cup in history they were asked for a special title, for the status: no matter the club and the winners (from Rapid, 1:6 and 1:0), which also supported.
We will not rehash the entire legendary history of PSV, so as not to drown the reader in endless material. We're talking about a lot of different sites.
The “light bulbs” didn’t win the first draw of the Yeredivisie, but then they set a record that no one could beat. Kuhn Dillen scored 43 goals in 34 matches for “Garmata” – and this performance is considered to be the shortest in the history of the current season of the major league of the Netherlands. Dillen spent most of his career in Eindhoven and scored 287 goals in 328 matches - although most of it was before professionalization. And as if he hadn’t yet served three tours of duty in the army.
Even so, until the seventies, the “light bulbs” still looked like the third sign of the duel between Ajax and Feyenoord. The teams, whose matches are widely respected by the classic championship, won many more world titles, and with incredible tactical progress, allowing them to go to the European Cup, like to a tableware store, they took several Cups.
Why PSV, which in the mid-seventies calmly bypassed Ajax and Feyenoord at a long distance, winning less than brilliantly? Well, first of all, let’s give a splash to Valery Lobanovsky: on the road to victory in the 1975 Cup Winners’ Cup, Dynamo knocked out, zokrema, PSV. At the Champions Cup, the “light bulbs” of the two were flying towards Saint-Etienne - insanely, one of the strongest teams at that time, which took their Cup.
Alas, the dawning hour for PSV in 1978. During the UEFA Cup, the club achieved six home clean sheets, beat Barcelona 3:0 – and never lost too much on the road.. The opponent in the final was Bastia - and this is how the story ended: the club, the foundations of Napoleon's holiday, in the match for the trophy, beating the club from Napoleon's fatherland, where they still hesitate and love.
And yet, PSV lost its poor relative to the aphids of the true pair of grandees. Ajax and Feyenoord had many more championships, they won the Champions Cup - PSV looked clearly third. In this case, in the literal meaning of the words, the poor “light bulbs”, of course, did not appear: Koeman, for example, in 1986 from Ajax passed just like a mirror, in the brightest mind, just like Ruud Gulit from Feyenoord fatefully earlier. The right kind of specialism was needed to put PSV on par with the more traditional giants.
Gus Geddinck spent a little time on this club - for the first part of the seventies, without facing competition from the team, as it gained ground. After completing his career, Gravits worked as an assistant to the head coach of the “light bulbs” – and in 1987 it was not expected that Vin would be another choice for the head position. If Rinus Michels was lucky enough to win the national team and not create a championship in the Netherlands, it is even doubtful that he would have created a car of such a scale.
After 17 rounds, PSV Mav 17 won. The team's performance was such that it was not a crushing defeat for any opponent.. During the championship, 117 goals were scored - more than three for the average for the game. Koeman scored 21+13 using the “goal plus pass” system, Vim Kift – 29+10. And yet, people from a completely different penalty Maidan allowed us to earn this season in the right way..
In five major matches of the Champions Cup - two quarter-finals, two semi-finals and finals - all at once, PSV scored only two (! ) naked. The rule of the first goal was in force, but just before us - a phenomenal goal of the first number. Hans Van Breukelen, with the help of PSV forward coach Jan Recker, is looking at a new level of goalkeeping in Yeredivisie: data on how there are penalties for different European football, saving 1500 (! ) cards. This allowed him to win the highest penalties in the Champions Cup final against Benfica's Antonio Veloso, and in the Euro final against Igor Belanov..
“Lampochki” won their “wow” Cup, three victories of Giddinka’s work brought three championships - and after turning back to the beginning of the 2000s, Gus brought three more championships. The infection of PSV is already different for the registries in the region - and, most of all, it is increasing its superiority over Feyenoord (not to mention that Ajax will fly by a little more than 60 years ago, greatly reducing the level of competition in.
A special feature of PSV was the recruitment of legionnaires to the Vinyatkov class. “Lampochki” were the first to adapt to the new European order, when a club from the middle league could lure away the best citizens from other continents. PSV could allow themselves to sign Romario himself, who has five rocks in him, then sell him in order to get a team of the caliber of Luke Neilis and Ronaldo - and all at the same time as internal selection.
The “light bulbs” began to shine richly darkly at the end of the 2010s, if, first of all, the Dutch championship itself was very low (ex, if there was no war, we would have fought for a point with them! ), and in another way, PSV became rated weaker among the internal hierarchy. The club finished the 19/20 season in fourth place – it has never been worse than once in forty years, and it’s just as bad more than a few times. Ale club judged it very competently, trusting Peter Bosch.
The Dutchman, who at the start of his career was very adventurous, for which he paid with his career in Borussia Dortmund, Lyon - and PSV had confusion and whistles (whose biography previously included both Ajax and. Before the development of his coaching career, Bosh transformed adventurous schemes into “simply” more effective ones.
Matching Bosh's performance in PSV's shortest season in history? Season 2022/23: the same 17 wins in the first 17 matches. 111, not 117 goals. Of course, once without a big trophy, it’s costing dearly to get out of the playoffs from the group with Arsenal, Seville and Lance. Dortmund once again served as a black mark for Bosh in the playoffs. This season, PSV has been phenomenal: in the Yeredivisie 12 they won 13 matches, in European cups 4:0 with Zirona, a draw against Sporting and PSG - and even lost to Juventus.
Who is especially careless about this “light bulb” It's not surprising, it's still the same Luc de Jong. Forward, who scored at home against Dynamo and Borussia Monchengladbach, after 30 years of knowing each other's youth. Last season, Luke scored 38 goals in all tournaments – adding 18 assists to them. Whose “everyone” has 6+4, Ale de Jong continues the most honorable traditions of the PSV “nines”.
The team also has absolutely diverse flanks: Noah Lang and Johan Bakayoko simply sharpen their “edges” and create more opportunities for Luke to show himself.
I, what is atypical for a Dutch club (I would like to know how PSV won the Champions Cup. ), PSV has the strongest pair of central defenders. In France, Deschamps is already barking that Oliva Boscaglie has not yet called - the native of Monte Carlo plays wonderfully in a pair with Ryan Flamingo.
The Ukrainian giants traditionally play poorly against the Dutch: Dynamo, for example, accumulated 9 wins in just six defeats. Let us now realize that this PSV in the Netherlands is alive in a special situation.
