Drommel's mixed PSV feelings: 'Unfortunately Bosz never gave me a chance'

Drommel reflects on five years at PSV where he was largely a backup, saying Bosz never gave him a chance despite believing he fitted the manager's football philosophy.

Joël Drommel has returned to FC Twente after five years at PSV, where he made 66 appearances but spent much of his time as a backup goalkeeper. Despite winning two Eredivisie titles and the KNVB Cup with the Eindhoven club, Drommel felt frustrated by limited playing time under manager Peter Bosz.

Drommel said he believed he would fit Bosz's football philosophy but was never given the opportunity to play regularly. "Unfortunately, he never gave me a chance. He doesn't like to change keepers," Drommel explained, noting that Walter Benítez was already established in the role when Bosz arrived and the manager stuck with him.

Despite the disappointment, Drommel retains fond memories of his PSV years, particularly saving a penalty from Edson Álvarez in the cup final victory against Ajax, which he called "my best day as a keeper so far." He has now rediscovered his form at Twente and credits fatherhood with making him a better goalkeeper.
