Is the Ricardo Pepi experiment over already? PSV coach Peter Bosz confirms he won't use USMNT man in same role in Dortmund clash

After earning his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/ricardo-pepi-wasteful-first-eredivisie-start-sergino-dest-malik-tillman-assist-usmnt-psv-heracles/blt2f63d280b19b8f4e" target="_blank">first Eredivisie start for PSV against Heracles</a> on Friday, Pepi followed it with a rather underwhelming performance. However, the 21-year-old was implemented as a left winger by Bosz, who admitted the experiment did not turn out to be all that he thought it would.

WHAT HAPPENED?

He said: "You are there with [Sergino] Dest behind, so you miss someone who can throw the ball in. The creativity became less and less. Considering the number of chances we created, it was possible. With a bit of luck, Pepi would have scored. But you shouldn't close your eyes, we only played 11 against 11 for 15 minutes. Then we would have had to see how that would turn out. If you have to do it at the end of a match because we are behind and you also have to think about an emergency scenario; then it might be possible. But this would not be my preference against Dortmund either."

WHAT PETER BOSZ SAID

Pepi has five goals and one assist in 2023-24 for the Dutch side in the Eredivisie, learning from prolific goalscorer Luuk de Jong at the same time. The American has become used to his bench cameo role with the Dutch club, but has stated he is content knowing he is learning and playing with such a talented attacker like De Jong. Looking ahead to their Champions League tie against Borussia Dortmund this coming week, though, Pepi surely will have an itch to play.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

PSV take on Dortmund in the European competition on Tuesday evening as the Dutch side and their American trio look to gain an advantage in the first leg of the tie. Pepi, meanwhile, will likely be used off the bench in a striker role if needed.
