Kovář celebrates title in the Netherlands, Schouten to miss World Cup

Czech goalkeeper Matěj Kovář is celebrating with PSV Eindhoven footballers as they secured first place in the Dutch Eredivisie. The team clinched its third consecutive league title after Feyenoord Rotterdam drew 0:0 with Volendam on Sunday. The previous day, PSV had strengthened its lead with a 4:3 victory over Utrecht, which, combined with the rivals' draw, mathematically secured the championship title. sport.cz - hokej ↗

PSV Eindhoven thus wrote a new record into the history of Dutch football. It secured the championship title earlier than ever before in the history of the Eredivisie - as early as April 5th, when the season was still in full swing. This also made it one of the fastest title decisions in the history of the Dutch top competition. idnes.cz ↗

For Matěj Kovář, this represents a great success in his personal career. The goalkeeper is experiencing an extraordinarily successful period this week, having helped the Czech team secure qualification for the World Cup in a penalty shootout on Tuesday. With the title in the Netherlands, he now achieves his third championship in different countries - after the Czech and German leagues - which demonstrates his quality and important role on the PSV Eindhoven team. He now has a total of six trophies in his career. isport.cz ↗

However, the joy over the title is overshadowed by news of an injury to PSV Eindhoven captain Jerdy Schouten. The twenty-nine-year-old midfielder tore his cruciate ligament in his knee during Saturday's home match against Utrecht and will not be able to compete at this year's World Cup in America due to the injury. The team will thus be without an experienced and important player for the demanding tournament. eurofotbal.cz ↗
