Luuk de Jong, who wore the captain's armband in the absence of Marco van Ginkel in the starting eleven, was extremely disappointed with the elimination against Feyenoord afterwards. "I want to win that cup so badly," he told FOX Sports.
'Baling and going full for the title'
"I have been at PSV for four years now and every year we have been eliminated. That's just a shame," continued the striker, who lost 2-0 at De Kuip. "We're really going full for the title now, but it's just a bummer when you lose a game like that.
Cocu not dissatisfied with PSV game
Head coach Phillip Cocu partly blamed the defeat on bad luck. In the catacomb of De Kuip, Cocu spoke of unfortunate decisions by the referee. "It was not a corner at the 2-0 and Malacia should have had his second yellow card. Very unfortunate decisions," said Cocu, who was also unhappy with the way he finished. "We played a good game, but missed the absolute sharpness in the final phase. That broke us down today. I am therefore sitting here with a double feeling. I can't be completely dissatisfied with the way we played."
Compliments for Mauro
About Mauro Junior, who also started in the starting lineup in Rotterdam after Heracles' outing, Cocu was also satisfied. "He played with the right aggression, wanted every ball and constantly ran himself free between the lines. That boy is in a good moment. If he continues like this, he's going to make a lot of minutes for PSV."
