The sword never grows old! The sword scores and leads the team to reverse the championship. This season, 27 goals were made in 35 games, and 7 goals were made in the last 7 games.

In the early morning of May 19, the final battle of the 2024/25 Eredivisie League began at the same time. Leader Eindhoven defeated Rotterdam Spartahao 3-1 away to win seven consecutive league wins, defending the Dutch Ligue champ with a slight advantage of 1 point. 36-year-old veteran Perisic started the game and scored the first record, becoming one of the biggest contributors to the team's victory and championship.

In this game, Eindhoven had an absolute advantage in ball possession and number of shots. In the 27th minute, Boscali made a cross from the left, Perisic scored a header from the back point, and Eindhoven led 1-0 away. In the 52nd minute of the second half, Zechiel's goal once helped the home team equalize the score. However, Luc de Jong then scored and took the lead again, and Tillman's goal in the 84th minute helped Eindhoven to completely secure the victory 3-1.

Eindhoven's Eredivisie's championship is still quite difficult. In the direct dialogue in the 27th round of the Eredivisie, Eindhoven lost 0-2 to Ajax at home, and was left by his opponent in the standings by a full 9 points. However, in the following seven rounds of the game, the defending champion of the Eredivisie maintained a complete victory, while Ajax lost 2 draws and 2 losses in the 4 games in the 30-33 round, losing all his 9-point advantage and was overtaken by Eindhoven. Although they defeated Twente 2-0 at home in the last round, they still could not make up for the 1-point disadvantage, and in the end they could only watch Eindhoven defend his title thrillingly. Perisic is undoubtedly one of the biggest contributors to Eindhoven's counterattack to win the championship. During the final seven-game winning streak, he scored 7 goals alone, including a lucky hat-trick against Sitard in the 31st round. In 35 games this season, Perisic scored a double-double of 16 goals and 11 assists, and is the team tied for the second scorer and the fourth assist. His rich game experience also provided valuable wealth to Eindhoven.

Perisic, born in February 1989, is 36 years old. From the youth training in Haduik, Croatia, he has played for many clubs in his career, including five major league giants such as Dortmund, Inter Milan, Bayern and Tottenham. He has won 10 championship trophys including 2 Bundesliga, 1 Serie A, 3 German Cups, 1 Italian Cup, 1 German Super Cup, 1 Italian Super Cup and 1 Champions League. The most worth mentioning is of course the 2019/20 season, when Perisic was loaned to Bayern by Inter Milan to rescue him, and he handed over 8 goals and 7 assists in 35 games, and won the European triple championships in the Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League with the team. That was also the most glorious moment in the Saber's career.

Last season's winter window, Perisic left Tottenham on loan to join his old club Haduik, and joined for free last summer. However, due to violating team rules, Perisic was kicked out of the roster by head coach Gatuso and then terminated the contract with Haduik. However, it was this termination of the contract that fulfilled the 36-year-old veteran's magical journey to Eredivisie.

When joining last summer, Perisic signed a contract with Eindhoven for only one year. However, after his outstanding performance this season, Eindhoven Club has expressed its hope to continue to cooperate with the Saber, and the prospects for the two sides to complete the contract renewal are optimistic. Next season, we will continue to see the former Inter Milan, Bayern and Tottenham winger gallop on the green field.
