Head coach Phillip Cocu noted with satisfaction that his team ended a tough September month well Saturday night with a 4-0 win over Willem II. "Three wins in the last three games. That gives a nice feeling," Cocu said in the catacombs of the Philips Stadium.
Critical
By this he was referring to the wins against Feyenoord (1-0), FC Utrecht (1-7) and thus Willem II. Yet Cocu was also critical afterwards. Especially about the game before halftime, the head coach was not satisfied. "I think we lost the ball almost 30 times before halftime," he sighed. "It was not good and undersized. In addition, the tempo was much too slow. As a result, we created far too few chances."
"It's unfortunate that it appears we have two faces again," Cocu continued. "Because I am satisfied about the second half We started to put pressure a little differently, the tempo went up and we were now moving without the ball. Then you see that you decide the match within a few minutes."
'Eventually nice result'
Captain Marco van Ginkel also thought PSV played a difficult first half, but ultimately cherished the nice result. "You want to play at a higher tempo, but sometimes that doesn't work out. In the second half the ball went around faster," he analyzed on FOX Sports. "Willem II seemed a bit more tired, so they gave away more space. We finished that off well. In the end you just win with a nice result."
