Kenneth Perez has cast doubt on PSV's leadership, stating that it is problematic for Mauro Júnior to be the team's most important player. This comes from an interview on ESPN's "Dit was het weekend", where Perez discussed the Brazilian's role in the team. VoetbalPrimeur reports that Perez believes a top club like PSV should not rely on a player who is not consistently performing at a high level. Perez specifically mentioned that Mauro Júnior is not a regular starter for PSV, often playing as a substitute.
Karim El Ahmadi, however, disagrees with Perez's assessment, stating that Mauro Júnior is one of the first players he would choose for the team. El Ahmadi cited Mauro Júnior's performance in the Champions League as an example of his quality. The disagreement between the two players highlights the uncertainty surrounding PSV's leadership and the team's reliance on Mauro Júnior.
