PSV inspected the pitch at White Hart Lane during a sixty-minute training session on Wednesday night, ahead of Thursday UEFA Cup Round of 16 first leg against Tottenham Hotspurs. The players, who played some piggy-in-the-middle games and effortlessly passed the ball to each other, were unanimous in their praise of the perfect pitch.
'White Heart Lane is a wonderful football stadium', said defender Mike Zonneveld. 'The crowd are close to the pitch. The UEFA Cup tie will be played on a pitch in perfect condition; the playing surface is immaculate. I am looking forward to tomorrow night's game' said the full left back after the Wednesday night training session.
The squad then withdrew to their hotel in the north of London to prepare for the UEFA Cup tie. Danny Koevermans, who is doubtful for Thursday's game, joined the squad for full training. He will face a late fitness test, along with fellow striker Danko Lazovic who is fighting a minor injury.
