PSV Eindhoven - Liverpool FC MATCH PRESS KIT PSV Stadium, Eindhoven Tuesday, 3 April 2007 - 20:45CET Quarter-Finals, First Leg - Matchday 9 PSV Eindhoven - Liverpool FC MATCH PRESS KIT PSV Stadium, Eindhoven Tuesday, 3 April 2007 - 20:45CET Quarter-finals, first leg - Matchday 9 Contents 1 - Match background 7 - UEFA information 2 - Match facts 8 - Match-by-match lineups 3 - Squad list 9 - Competition facts 4 - Head coach profiles 10 - Team facts 5 - Match officials 11 - Competition information 6 - Domestic information 12 - Legend Match background The two teams who combined on Matchday 8 to eliminate both last season's UEFA Champions League finalists now bid to remove the other from this season's competition. For PSV Eindhoven and Liverpool FC it is the third time they have faced each other in the campaign with the Dutch champions hoping to reverse their fortunes against the English side over two matches in the group stage. • For PSV, winners of the European Champion Clubs' Cup in 1987/88, the tie gives them the chance to match their achievement of two years ago and advance to the semi-finals, progress that was surpassed by Liverpool who went all the way to the final where they triumphed in a penalty shoot-out victory against AC Milan. • The aggregate defeat of Arsenal FC in the first knockout round on 7 March earned Ronald Koeman's team plaudits for the resilience of their defending in London. Having taken an advantage in the first game through Edison Méndez's goal, PSV absorbed the setback of Alex's own goal which put Arsenal level on aggregate in the return and then struck back with a winner seven minutes from time when the Brazilian defender scored again - this time in the right net. • PSV's win two weeks before improved their home fortunes against English opposition which before then had shown no victories in their last five encounters, including the 0-0 draw with Liverpool which launched the Group C campaign. Prior to that they had been more successful, winning four and drawing one of six contests. Away from home they have registered three wins and two draws in a total of 12 visits to England. • Their home form in the competition is quite formidable – 12 wins and three draws in their last 17 outings, including qualifying ties. • When they were at this stage two years ago - the first time they had progressed so far in the UEFA Champions League - PSV, then managed by Guus Hiddink, saw off the challenge of Olympique Lyonnais in a penalty shoot-out after both games had ended 1-1. • Having defeated Arsenal in the last round, Koeman might well believe that lightning is about to strike twice. Last season, while with SL Benfica, he helped mastermind Manchester United FC's departure at the group stage and then put paid to Liverpool's hopes in the first knockout round, the Portuguese team winning 1-0 at Estádio da Luz and 2-0 at Anfield. Last updated 02.04.2007 11:23:17CET www.uefa.com Page 1 PSV Eindhoven - Liverpool FC MATCH PRESS KIT • Koeman scored the only goal when FC Barcelona beat UC Sampdoria to win the 1992 European Champion Clubs' Cup at Wembley. • Liverpool were also involved in a nerve-strained confrontation in the return leg of their first knockout round tie, conceding a late goal to FC Barcelona which brought the aggregate scores level. However, following that Eidur Gudjohnsen strike, Liverpool refused to yield again and so advanced on away goals. Craig Bellamy and John Arne Riise had scored in Spain to put Rafael Benítez's men in control of the tie between the last two winners of the prestigious club prize. • In their third UEFA Champions League quarter-final, Liverpool will be looking to replicate the defensive resolution and organisation which brought them a 0-0 draw away to Juventus two years ago and a ticket to the next round after the home game had finished 2-1 in their favour. • Their earlier meetings with PSV in this campaign saw Liverpool win the home game 2-0 with second-half goals by Steven Gerrard - who had also struck the inside of a post in this season's first encounter - and Peter Crouch. It was one of only eight individual matches against Dutch opposition. • Away from home they have one victory in four attempts, at BV Vitesse in the 2002/03 UEFA Cup, and have suffered just one reverse, the 5-1 defeat at AFC Ajax in the 1966/67 European Cup second round - their heaviest ever reverse in UEFA competition. They are unbeaten at home, drawing one and winning the last three. • The victory at Camp Nou in February means the five-times European Cup winners have suffered only one defeat on their travels this season, the 3-2 reverse at Galatasaray SK on 5 December which came when they were already confirmed as section winners. After opening their campaign with a 0-0 draw in Eindhoven, they went on to win 1-0 at FC Girondins de Bordeaux. They have now only lost two of their last 15 away games in the competition, a run which includes last season's three qualifying rounds but not the 2004/05 final in Istanbul. • Liverpool have plenty of Dutch connections, most notably Boudewijn Zenden who won the title with PSV Eindhoven in the 1996/97 and was then named Dutch young footballer of the year. Dirk Kuyt played for PSV's old rivals Feyenoord before his summer switch to Anfield and young forward Jordy Brouwer made a similar move from AFC Ajax in January. • For PSV, Jan Kromkamp left Liverpool last summer after a six-month stay. Patrick Kluivert also has Premiership experience, having spent the 2004/05 campaign with Newcastle United FC while Michael Reiziger was at Middlesbrough FC the same season. • Kluivert, Reiziger and Phillip Cocu played at Anfield for the Netherlands in the EURO '96™ quarter-finals, with the former scoring in the 5-4 penalty shoot-out defeat by France. All three also played for Barcelona, and Kluivert scored, in the 3-1 group-stage victory at Liverpool in November 2001. • The return match will be played at Anfield on 11 April. The winners will play either Chelsea FC or Valencia CF in the semi-final. Match facts PSV • Five PSV players have featured in all eight UEFA Champions League matches to date: Heurelho Gomes, Alex, Timmy Simons, Edison Méndez and Arouna Koné. Of those, Gomes, Alex and Simons have played all 720 minutes so far. • Phillip Cocu made his 75th UEFA Champions League appearance against FC Girondins de Bordeaux on Matchday 6, a landmark Michael Reiziger will reach with his next appearance. Last updated 02.04.2007 11:23:17 CET www.uefa.com Page 2 PSV Eindhoven - Liverpool FC MATCH PRESS KIT • No outfield player either past or present has made as many UEFA Champions League appearances without scoring as Reiziger. • Patrick Kluivert is within sight of his century of UEFA club competition appearances; the striker has currently played 98 times although he had to wait until Matchday 6 for his first appearance this season. Reiziger has made 97 appearances, while Cocu has featured 119 times. • The Matchday 1 draw with Liverpool FC marked the UEFA Champions League debuts of both Carlos Salcido and Méndez. Diego Tardelli and Roy Beerens appeared for the first time two weeks later away to Bordeaux. • Manuel Da Costa made his UEFA Champions League debut in the 2-0 defeat of Galatasaray SK on Matchday 4. • Sun Xiang became the first Chinese player to appear in the UEFA Champions League with his arrival as a 66th-minute substitute in the first leg against Arsenal. He said: "The fact a Chinese guy can play in the Champions League is very big news in China. I have learned so much from my team-mates and coach - we are like a big family so I feel very good. Eindhoven is very quiet and comfortable which makes life easier and I like it." • Kluivert is the top UEFA Champions League scorer in the current PSV squad with 29 goals. No other player has reached double figures, although Cocu is on nine goals. • Kromkamp, Mika Väyrynen and Koné all scored their first goals in the competition in the group stage. Méndez opened his account in the first leg against Arsenal. • Koné and Alex are two of 40 players who have scored twice in the competition so far, with Kaká and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is no longer involved, the leading scorers on six goals each. • Koné has set up two goals so far with Juninho Pernambucano, who is no longer involved, the competition's leading assist provider with five. • Koné has had eight shots on goal so far, eight fewer than Kaká who has had the most. Koné has also had six shots wide, with Thierry Henry having the most with 14. • Jefferson Farfán has been flagged offside 16 times, eight more than Koné and one behind Mohamed Tchite and Francesco Totti, who have been caught the most although the former is no longer involved in the competition. • Farfán has committed 23 fouls to date, one fewer than Brandão, who is no longer involved, and Michael Ballack, who are the most penalised players in this season's competition. The PSV forward has also been impeded eleven times, as has Méndez. • PSV have collected the lowest number of yellow cards of the sides in the quarter-finals with six - although they have also received one red card, for Michael Lamey on Matchday 2. • The Dutch side have committed 92 fouls so far, the lowest among the eight clubs left in the competition.

Devised as an illustrative example of ‘triolectics’, Danish artist and philosopher Asger Jorn conceived of three-sided football in 1962. However, the game remained a purely abstract philosophical exercise until the early 1990s when a group of anarchists, architects and artists decided to play the game for the first time.

For the leaders of the national associations and of UEFA, there is no such thing as a quiet period either. This year, for example, UEFA’s member associations first had the delicate task of deciding who UEFA’s president would be for the next four years. Just a few months later, in April, it will be up to the UEFA Executive Committee to decide where EURO 2012 will take place. 2007 is also likely to be a crucial time in relations between European football and the European Union.

However, they met in a pre-season friendly at White Hart Lane on 3 August 2003, with goals from Ji-Sung Park and Arjen Robben giving PSV a 2-0 win. • Having beaten Chelsea FC 2-1 after added time in the English League Cup final on 24 February, Tottenham are already certain of a return to the UEFA Cup next year. • Spurs have played in ten previous UEFA club competition games against Dutch opposition, winning five, drawing three and losing two. Those five two-leg ties ended in three overall wins for Tottenham and two defeats. At White Hart Lane, their record against Dutch sides reads won two and drawn three. • Eight of Tottenham's ten European games against Dutch sides have been against Feyenoord.

Italy had taken the lead through an Ernie Brandts own goal but Brandts himself restored parity before Arie Haan struck the Netherlands' winner. • Italy have held the upper hand over the ensuing three decades, during which they have recorded two draws and six wins against the Oranje, including a penalty shoot-out triumph following a goalless semi-final at UEFA EURO 2000™. • Despite playing against ten men from the 34th minute when Gianluca Zambrotta was sent off, the tournament co-hosts paid the price for two missed penalties during normal time.

Ik kon op dat moment eigenlijk maar aan één speler denken. Género Zeefuik, de stevige midvoor van FC Groningen met minimaal 10 kilo’s aan overgewicht. In de jaren tachtig sprak men, door spelers als Richard Witschge en Brian Roy, over de patat-generatie, een woord gelanceerd door Leo Beenhakker. Hij was van mening dat het deze voetballers aan een gezonde dosis vechtlust ontbrak. Deze generatie was de eerste die opgroeide in een welvarend en modern Nederland. De jeugd hoefde geen strijd te leveren om haar vrijheid te veroveren. De associatie met patat houdt verband met de suggestie dat deze jongeren voortdurend in snackbars zouden rondhangen. Maar aan hun graatmagere posturen van toen te zien ontbrak het hen niet alleen aan vechtlust, maar ook aan eetlust. Dat is bij Zeefuik duidelijk en zichtbaar anders. Dat het hem aan vechtlust ontbreekt durf ik niet te beweren, maar met zijn eetlust is niks mis! Een exponent van de nieuwe Burger King-generatie oftewel FC Obesitas. Ooit sprak oud-trainer Fritz Korbach over een buitenspeler met een brommertje als hij een uitzonderlijke sprintsnelheid had. Dat kan Zeefuik helaas niet zeggen. Hij mag dan misschien wel een brommertje hebben, maar dan heeft hij ook de bijbehorende helm ingeslikt.

    Liverpool FC - PSV Eindhoven MATCH PRESS KIT Anfield, Liverpool Wednesday, 11 April 2007 - 20:45CET Quarter-finals, second leg - Matchday 10 Contents 1 - Match background 7 - UEFA information 2 - Match facts 8 - Match-by-match lineups 3 - Squad list 9 - Competition facts 4 - Head coach profiles 10 - Team facts 5 - Match officials 11 - Competition information 6 - Domestic information 12 - Legend Match background A convincing performance in the PSV Stadium eight days ago has left Liverpool FC in a commanding position in their UEFA Champions League quarter-final. For PSV Eindhoven to overcome towering odds at Anfield and claim a second semi-final place in three years they will have to surpass the previous best comeback in the competition. • A 3-0 victory in Eindhoven was the perfect way for the 2005 winners to build on their defeat of FC Barcelona – the team who had followed Liverpool on to the podium 12 months later - in the first knockout round. They scored three times in little more than an hour to record their finest away victory in the UEFA Champions League. Steven Gerrard got the ball rolling and John Arne Riise and Peter Crouch followed up with goals early in the second half to make a true celebration of the Merseyside club's 50th game in the tournament. • Rafael Benítez's team have already beaten PSV at Anfield this season, a 2-0 victory in the group stage with Gerrard and Crouch again providing the goals. It was part of their 100 per cent record at home in the group stage and although that sequence was broken with the 1-0 home defeat by Barcelona in the last 16, Liverpool had done enough in the Camp Nou - winning 2-1 - to progress on away goals.
