Sven Mijnans has revealed that PSV’s attacking philosophy was a major reason behind his decision to join the club last summer, with the midfielder flourishing under Peter Bosz after becoming one of the team's most influential performers.

Mijnans was the standout figure in PSV’s 5-2 victory over SC Cambuur on Sunday, scoring twice to help the Eindhoven side reclaim top spot in the Eredivisie. His contribution continued an impressive run of form, with the Dutchman increasingly important to Bosz’s attacking system.

Speaking after the win in Leeuwarden, Mijnans explained that PSV’s style of football was precisely what attracted him to Eindhoven.

“PSV plays attacking football. That’s why I chose PSV in the summer,” he said.

The midfielder also believes the team is moving in the right direction after a series of encouraging performances.

“We’ve been on the right track for several weeks now,” Mijnans added.

One of the most noticeable aspects of Mijnans’ development has been his understanding with Guus Til. The pair regularly take turns making forward runs into the spaces left by opposing defences, giving PSV another dimension when attacking the penalty area.

Mijnans has also been working on improving his decision-making in front of goal, particularly when opportunities arrive around the edge of the box.

He pointed to his goal in the 15th minute against Cambuur as an example of that progress. Rather than shooting immediately, he delayed his effort to find a clearer opening.

“You could see that with the 0-2 goal, for instance, where I chose to delay my shot, going against my natural instinct. You have to look for the right moment so your shot doesn’t get blocked. I’ve definitely made progress in that regard,” he explained, as relayed by  Rik Elfrink of Eindhovens Dagblad.

That improvement is reflected in his growing goalscoring influence. Mijnans is now joint-top scorer in the Eredivisie, underlining the impact he has made since arriving at PSV.

Despite his excellent domestic form, Mijnans knows he must translate his goalscoring output to the Champions League. He believes he has produced some encouraging performances in Europe but recognises that the decisive contribution in the final third remains important.

“I think I’ve played a few good matches there, but ultimately, it’s about end product, of course,” he said.

“I’m happy with the opportunities I’m getting at PSV within this attacking style of play. That’s why I came to Eindhoven. I always try to help the team as much as I can to get the best possible result.”

His performances could also bring him closer to a first Netherlands senior call-up. However, Mijnans is not allowing speculation about international recognition to distract him from his immediate priorities.

“My focus is on developing myself at the club,” he said.

He also expressed satisfaction at scoring from a free-kick against Cambuur, adding another dimension to his attacking contribution.

The afternoon ended with a lighter moment when Mijnans exchanged shirts with former AZ teammate Billy van Duijl. The PSV midfielder praised the Cambuur defender's performance before joking that he should consider himself fortunate to have received his shirt.

For now, Mijnans' attention remains firmly on PSV. His goals, growing understanding with Til and comfort within Bosz's attacking approach have made him a key figure as the Eindhoven club look to maintain their position at the top of the Eredivisie.
