Head coach Phillip Cocu expects PSV to make the game Saturday night against FC Utrecht. He said that at the weekly press conference.
Cocu tempers euphoria
Although PSV is 12 points ahead of number two Ajax after the weeklong round of play, Cocu does not want to anticipate the facts just yet. "We still play thirteen games," Cocu said. "We have to work hard to keep winning. Of course we are happy with the result of the Ajax - AZ match (0-1), but we should not start thinking that it is already played."
Determine game
In the match against FC Utrecht, Cocu expects PSV to take control of the game. "We have to start determining the game. And hopefully with a lot of support from the supporters. That can be just the little extra for a victory. Of course we have to watch out for Utrecht's dangerous points. They are especially dangerous on the flanks, there is a lot of movement in their game. We have to take that out and take control of the game from there. Because their ball-fast striker Ruud Boymans is not here, they have changed their style of play a bit compared to the Utrecht game."
Doubts
Jeffrey Bruma had to miss the game against NAC Breda (0-2), for Saturday he is a doubt. "Like Jorrit Hendrix, he trained with us, but we'll wait until tomorrow. Then we will see what the reaction to training is and from there we will put together the 18-man squad," Cocu said.
