After Monday's closed training session, head coach Phillip Cocu addressed the media and looked ahead to Tuesday's cup game against SC Cambuur. A quick chance to rectify the defeat against Heracles Almelo with a win. "We can quickly revenge ourselves," Cocu said.
Cocu: set up series
"I think we have to play the cup tournament to win," Cocu was clear about the important place the KNVB Cup holds for PSV. "Moreover, after last Saturday, we have to make sure we look forward again and establish a good series in the longer term. At the same time, we must not think about Saturday yet," Cocu insisted on the focus his team must bring against the Frisians.
Formation
Naturally, Cocu also dwelt on tomorrow's lineup. The coach will have to change his starting lineup anyway given the absence of Davy Pröpper. The midfielder is suspended against SC Cambuur because of two yellow cards he received last season at Vitesse in the cup tournament. "We will see tomorrow who replaces him. I also don't rule out making some further changes to the lineup. We need eleven men to be sharp tomorrow. On some positions the difference between them is not very big and everything follows each other quickly. Sometimes that means I make other choices," Cocu concluded cryptically. The kickoff of PSV - Cambuur is Tuesday night at 20.45.
