Cyriel Dessers Confident PSV Fans Won’t Intimidate Rangers in UCL Playoff

By Daniel Edu

Nigerian football sensation, Cyriel Dessers, remains steadfast in his belief that his team, Glasgow Rangers, will remain unshaken by the expected intense atmosphere at PSV Eindhoven’s home ground during the second leg of the UEFA Champions League playoff, scheduled for today, August 30.

Tonight at 8 p.m., Rangers will exert every effort to secure their qualification for the Champions League group stage against PSV at Philips Stadion, determined to triumph despite the anticipated challenging conditions.

The initial leg of the encounter, held at Ibrox Stadium on August 22, concluded with a 2-2 draw. This outcome necessitates that either Rangers or PSV must secure a decisive victory in tonight’s match.

During the initial leg, Cyriel Dessers played a pivotal role by assisting Rabbi Matondo in securing the second goal for the Light Blues. Throughout the Champions League qualification series, Dessers has scored a goal and contributed two assists.

In the lead-up to the crucial second leg, Dessers, 28 years old, expressed his unwavering confidence in his fellow teammates to achieve the necessary outcome against PSV on their turf, despite the notorious reputation of PSV fans for creating a hostile atmosphere during matches.

Dessers commented, “The atmosphere will be intense there as well, akin to what we experienced at Ibrox. I think Ibrox surpasses it.”

“I believe the Rangers players are accustomed to the crowd here at Ibrox; their experience in the Champions League prepares them for this scenario.”

“I am confident that they can manage this crowd as well. We are fully prepared, aiming for a commendable performance, and with luck, we will secure the desired outcome.”
