Aad de Mos comments on Ricardo Pepi's challenges at PSV

Aad de Mos has expressed concerns about Ricardo Pepi's fit in PSV's current tactical setup following Luuk de Jong's departure. He indicated that Pepi lacks the necessary technique and tactical awareness to excel in a high-pressure system, a point underscored by the emergence of Sven Mijnans, who scored a hat-trick against Sparta Rotterdam. Pepi's path to becoming the first-choice striker has been complicated by injuries and competition, as Mijnans' recent performance adds to the pressure on Pepi to deliver. De Mos suggests that modern strikers must excel in various dynamics beyond simply occupying the penalty area.
