Cocu: PSV can still progress

Phillip Cocu remains optimistic about PSV's chances of progressing in the Champions League after its stalemate against Atletico Madrid.

PSV coach Phillip Cocu feels the Eredivisie leader still has every chance of reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League after Wednesday's scoreless draw against Atletico Madrid.

The Eindhoven side struggled to break down Atletico's defense and needed goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet to keep the side in the match a number of times in the first leg of its last-16 tie.

But the club held firm even after Gaston Pereiro was sent off in the 68th minute to keepits chances alive, much to the satisfaction of Cocu.
