Here’s what the manager said to reporters in his post-match press conference…
lobeOn his victory and the performance of his team…
It’s incredibly difficult for kids today, to be honest. It was clear we played two days ago, coming here[playing with]a team that is in form. Six home wins, good weather, everyone in a good mood (and) in fact, everything was set up for another home win. The only group that wants to avoid that is my players. It’s a great football game. To be honest,[in]the first 15 minutes we had to adjust a bit, that’s normal.
Newcastle obviously has changed a bit. Have Joelington play on the starboard right or on the left, our right, and collect the ball there in the second stroke. We had a bit of difficulty trying to adjust it, getting better when the ball was on the ground. We have very good games, I like the way we play. The way that pulled them (and) kept them quiet, (I) can’t remember how many counter-attacks there were. There were goals they could score but were offside. And there might be another ball in the second half (but) their chances are offside as well. in this situation It is a form of playing at the top level. really happy
On his team’s ability to rotate players and remain in form…
Is it great, hey? Yeah, that’s the only reason we’re where we are. that’s what it is That’s the only reason. The kids would trade everything for this situation. The kids who didn’t play today. You didn’t see their faces on the bench at the end of the last flu, it was brilliant, we know that. The team was outstanding. have incredible abilities and have a good character That really helps a lot.
On James Milner’s performance…
Yeah, that’s great. Millie is incredibly important to us, that’s really important because people think If we talk about dressing rooms… yes it helps a lot He helped a lot there. especially with non-native team managers but also on the field He played the game perfectly. I didn’t want to take anything away from him. But I like Naby’s performance as well, Hendo too, that works very well. The boys are on fire, we play football. We keep the ball at the right moment. We had a hard time fighting on the second ball. We already knew that before the game. because there is no way As I know at least it’s 100% protection, so 50-50 isn’t that good to defend. but apart from that I really love the game, James is a huge part of it.
