According to head coach Phillip Cocu, Sunday will only be about one thing. Capturing the lead in the Eredivisie. In doing so, he did not want to look too much at the past European week, in which both PSV and Feyenoord impressed. "You can think of anything, but above all we have to make sure we win on Sunday," Cocu said at the press conference.
'PSV no further ahead than Feyenoord'
In a crowded press room at De Herdgang, Cocu told the crowd that he is committed to capturing the lead on Sunday. Something that will be achieved if they win. At the same time, the coach realizes that it will be very difficult against title rival Feyenoord. "You can't say we are further ahead than Feyenoord," he believes. "Feyenoord are doing very well. And I indicated at the beginning of the season that I expect them to compete for the title together with us and Ajax. They confirm that, including European," the coach said, referring to the Rotterdammers' game against Manchester United (1-0 win).
Cocu expects 'fantastic topper'
About the development of his own team, the coach is satisfied. "The confidence in ourselves is great. We have shown that we can compete with last year's Champions League finalist. We can expect a high-level match on Sunday. There will be two teams in the field that are not much different from each other. That makes it a fantastic topper in advance."
Injuries
Against Feyenoord, Cocu will definitely still miss Jürgen Locadia. The striker, who attended training this morning, is still recovering from a groin injury. Siem de Jong will be in action tonight with Young PSV, but that does not have immediate consequences for the match against Feyenoord. "It is not out of the question that he will be on the bench on Sunday," Cocu said. Cocu could not yet comment on the employability of Oleksandr Zinchenko. "That is highly doubtful and depends on Saturday's training. Today (Friday ed.) it went well."
