Eindhoven, Netherlands (AP) — U.S. international Sergino Dest did not start the game against PSV Eindhoven. stunning victory Coach Peter Bosz said Tuesday’s game against Napoli was due to being late for the Champions League game.
Boss said in an interview with broadcaster Ziggo Sport that Dest had to face the consequences for breaching team rules.
“Sergino was late today so he won’t play,” Bausch said, as quoted by Dutch outlet nu. “This is not a difficult decision. We made an agreement three years ago. Everyone has to abide by it and so must he. Unfortunately he did not abide by it.”
“You know what the consequences will be if you’re late on time.”
PSV defeated Italian champions Napoli 6-2 in this season’s Champions League, recording one of the most famous victories in Dutch club history.
Dest, 24, who played for European giants Barcelona and AC Milan, ended up coming on as a substitute in the 84th minute of the match at the Philips Stadion.
