Biography
Philip Cocu came to Barca on a Bosman free transfer
from PSV Eindhoven at the start of the 1998-99 season.
Manger Luois van Gaal had made the Dutchman's signing
a principal objective for his professional attitude
and versatility.
Cocu was born in Eindhoven (Holland) and began his
career with local club DCS. He played with a number
of lower league clubs, such as De Graafschap and
AFC34, before signing for second division outfit AZ.
Two years later he joined Vitesse Arnhem and made his
debut in the top flight in Holland.
After showing his class at Vitesse, he was snapped up
by PSV in 1995, where he developed into a key player,
winning League Cup and Supercup titles as well as
becoming a regular in the Dutch national side.
Position
Cocu is one of the pillars of the team, hard-working
and willing to sacrifice his own game for the good of
the collective, yet regularly getting onto the scoresheet.
His versatility is perhaps his principal virtue and he
can play in behind the forwards, in the center of midfield,
out wide or even as a full back or central defender.
Not only does he boast the typical skills of a Dutch player,
Cocu is also a tough tackling fighter, a good header and an
excellent reader of the game with a vicious left foot shot.
