The 41-year-old tactician has urged his side to shake off the 2-1 defeat they suffered against RKC Waalwijk and claim a good result against Gertjan Verbeek’s side on Eredivisie match-day 30.
Phillip Cocu has expressed optimism ahead of PSV Eindhoven’s clash against AZ Alkmaar at Philips Stadion on Saturday, April 14.
Despite coming on the back of a shocking 2-1 defeat against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/RKC-Waalwijk-c40370, the Dutch trainer has expressed confidence that his side has got the ability to bag all three points against an impressive Alkmaar outfit.
“We were very disappointed after Wednesday’s defeat. There will be a lot at stake for us on Saturday, so we don’t need an extra incentive to win”, Cocu was quoted as saying to the club’s official website.
The Dutch trainer, who took over the managerial hot seat at Philips Stadion from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fred-c14136 Rutten earlier this year, went on to admit that they dropped three crucial points against RKC.
“It was a must-win game. I’ve urged to team to shake off this defeat. We had little time to prepare for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 game, but we are professionals and should be able to cope with that. We’ve trained well and I’ve got a good feeling about Saturday’s game”, Cocu
added.
AZ have thus far performed brilliantly this term. For many a month, they sat proudly at the summit of the Eredivisie table. However, their erratic showings coupled with Ajax Amsterdam’s phenomenal performances in the recent weeks (nine wins in a row) dropped
them to second spot on the table.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 player knows that the Alkmaar outfit are a strong side to beat, but has insisted they will put in their hundred per cent to claim maximum points at home.
“They are a well-organised team and will stick to their game plan, but so will we. We believe that we will get a good result”, Cocu concluded.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 are currently placed fifth on the league table, seven points behind the league leaders, Ajax. With only five matches left to play in the season, a second place finish seems to be a realistic option for the Eindhoven giants.
