The Colchoneros have completed a perfect run in the Champions League so far this season, five wins out of five matches with one more match to go. But those results came out of the incredibly hard work Diego Simeone puts all the players through, PSV manager Cocu was impressed by the collective display he witnessed against Atletico last Wednesday.
He told the press that: “We were expecting Nicolas Gaitan to play on the wing, but he didn't play. They set up in a different way. They played their style, pressed high and that's what they do. They scored twice in transition after we gave the ball away and that's this side's quality. They're a great example of how a side function. When [Gaston] Pereiro had a one-on-one it was Griezmann making the tackle - that says it all for me about what a team they are."
Cocu is still hopeful that they can get a place in the next round: "We need to fight in the final game at home against Rostov. If we win the game, we know we'll stay in Europe. That's our objective. I saw some good things and it was our errors that cost us. That's the difference at this level against a big team like Atletico, and now we will fight against Rostov to make it into the Europa League."
