“I’m happy with so many things. I think it was a very good performance overall — a quite complete performance. Offensively, we looked like a big threat going forward — we were more dynamic running forward on both the sides, producing good chances and good moments. I really liked that. Also the defensive side of it, which is a big thing, we kept them down to four shots throughout the game.

On Xavi Simons making an impact offensively and defensively: “Very pleasing. So pleased for him — really, really so pleased for him — because he’s been working very hard on the training pitch and in the gym. He’s a 24/7 pro, so determined and wants it so badly. Actually, I think he’s been on a good run, close to being decisive — and today, and assist and a goal. Very good.”
On the fans’ impact throughout the game: “You felt it. I think we all felt, ‘OK, we need a top performance for all of us together.’ If we can do more of this together, this can be the fortress we are dreaming of. One step forward, there are a lots of steps to be there consistently every week — for us and the fans together. I loved it, they were very good.”
