PSV MANAGER Dwight Lodeweges answered questions?

What did he like about Scottish Football?

Answer:- "Their passion and hard tackeling".

The day at PSV was great in so much that we were able to watch the first team trained by COCO  and ex rangers Jan Wouters .

We were able to ask question to AFELLAY & KROMKAMP (Dutch International) and MENDEZ(Ecuador) about their training. They both spent over 20 minutes signing autographs and photos for all who requested them. They were great and very plesant and approachable.
