The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 player has admitted that his side deservingly bagged all three points after dominating throughout the 90 minutes against Harm van Veldhoven’s men.
PSV Eindhoven head coach, Phillip Cocu, was extremely delighted with his side’s impressive 3-1 victory over Roda JC Kerkrade at Parkstad Limburg Stadion on Sunday, April 29.
The 41-year-old tactician was all praise for his side’s scintillating show away from home and has insisted that his side deservingly claimed all three points.
“After a tentative ten-minute opening phase, we dominated in the first half, putting pressure on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roda-JC-c40375’s defence. We played attractive football, crossing the balls from the wings. We put in a fine first-half display but could and should have scored more
goals”, Cocu was quoted as saying to the club’s official website.
The Eindhoven giants asserted their authority right from the first whistle and grabbed the lead in the seventh minute through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dries-Mertens-c11679. Despite creating plenty of goalscoring opportunities afterwards, they failed to add any more goals until the 31st
minute when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 headed home a Mertens corner.
After the half-time break, the Eindhoven giants continued to play aggressively. However, the home side surprisingly managed to score a goal, reducing the deficit. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sanharib-Malki-c32495 was quick to tap in at the
near post to make it 2-1.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 boss has admitted that his side lost their focus early on in the second-half, but managed to control the game afterwards.
“We started the second half well but fell prey to some momentary lapses of concentration. Roda JC reduced the deficit, but we responded well as a team. We were in control and eventually scored a third goal to secure a 1-3 away win”, Cocu concluded.
Six minutes before the full time whistle, Memphis Depay fired home from a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jeremain-Lens-c18323 pass to seal the impressive 3-1 win away from home.
PSV climb up in the league standings following the victory to occupy the third spot. With six points left to play for before the end of the ongoing 2011/12 campaign, they have a bright chance of finishing second and earning UEFA Champions League qualifying
round ticket.
