Ruben van Bommel has made it clear that PSV have no intention of settling for anything less than another Eredivisie title, insisting the squad expects to extend its recent domestic success after returning to the top of the table.

The winger was speaking to ESPN after PSV's 5-2 victory over Cambuur in Leeuwarden on Sunday, a result that saw Peter Bosz's side reclaim first place following dropped points for Feyenoord and Ajax.

Van Bommel scored PSV's third goal of the afternoon, giving the visitors a commanding 3-0 lead. Cambuur threatened to make a contest of it by pulling the score back to 2-3, but Sven Mijnans' free-kick restored PSV's two-goal cushion. Mijnans had already scored the opening two goals to complete his hat-trick.

The results elsewhere made the victory even more significant. Feyenoord suffered a 5-3 defeat away to Heerenveen after leading 2-0, while Ajax surrendered a two-goal advantage in a 2-2 draw against FC Twente.

Those results allowed PSV to move back above their rivals, but Van Bommel stressed that his team must concentrate on its own performances rather than rely on setbacks elsewhere.

"We have a good team, we’ve become champions three times in a row. We demand of ourselves that we become champions again," he said.

The forward also acknowledged that the squad was aware of the results involving their title rivals, while emphasising that PSV still had to do their own job.

"We heard the results, but you have to win yourself. Results are nice, but if you don't win yourself, it doesn't help you. We don't need to say that to each other."

Despite contributing a goal and an assist, Van Bommel was not entirely satisfied with his individual performance against Cambuur.

The winger believes he can still improve his physical output and become more threatening by making additional runs and sprints during matches.

"I feel fit, but in terms of content there is still something more. If I can make a few more sprints, I can become even more dangerous," he explained, as quoted by PSV Inside.

Van Bommel admitted that his overall display had fallen short of his expectations, pointing to his performance in individual duels during the first half and the need to execute certain actions more effectively after the break.

"Today wasn't not very high-quality from myself, I thought. Goal and assist, but for the rest I wasn't one hundred percent satisfied; everyone could see that today. In the first half the duels weren't great; in the second half I have to execute certain actions better."

He also reflected on a missed shooting opportunity, admitting that he could have done better in front of goal.

"One shot on goal, I don't know where it went. That wasn't good. If you have the chance to score more, you feel better about it."

Van Bommel also explained that regular playing time is important to his development and match fitness. Having missed PSV's games against ADO Den Haag and Porto, he noticed the impact of a lack of competitive action.

"I actually benefit from playing more matches; that's how I get fit. I missed out on ADO and Porto, so then I noticed that I had something missing. I'd rather play more matches than fewer," he added.

PSV now have the advantage at the top of the Eredivisie, but Van Bommel's comments underline the expectation within the squad: another title is the target, and maintaining their own standards remains the priority.
