Marco van Ginkel stood in front of FOX Sports' camera afterwards with a good feeling. The captain felt his team had some trouble with NAC before halftime, but took the game to themselves in the second half. "The first half was not top, in the second half it was good," he thought.
Van Ginkel himself had an important part in that. He provided the important 1-2 in the second half, after PSV had scored the equalizer shortly before halftime. After that, PSV ran out fairly quickly and easily to a deserved win. "Everyone wanted the ball and then you see we can play good football. It was also good from behind," he thought.
Cocu: Mentally strong
Head coach Phillip Cocu confirmed his captain's image, but was particularly pleased with the resilience his team showed after Ambrose's equalizer. "We showed that we are mentally strong," he spoke with satisfaction. "We can catch up and score goals. I am very pleased with that."
In addition, Cocu was satisfied with the development of his team. "The coordination between Jorrit (Hendrix, ed.) and Marco (van Ginkel, ed.) is better at many moments than last week. Marco had to come in for a while today, but then really took the team by the hand. All in all, it's a good win."
