Dele Alli

Yeah, I think it's very important.

Everyone knows the first game's a big one.

Obviously, it's a very long season and we know we've got to improve, but you want to get off to a good start and it was a positive result in the end.

Yeah, I think last season I scored against Newcastle away in the first game as well.

So, you know, I just want to keep improving as a player.

And, you know, as a squad, we want to keep improving.

And it's always nice to score.

But more importantly, we got the three points.

Yeah, it was a great experience.

You know, when you're there, you're sort of in your own little bubble, concentrating on the games and, you know, trying to do as well as you can.

And you sort of, you know,

don't understand how much it means to the country until you get back.

I think it was a positive World Cup for us.

Obviously, we were disappointed we didn't win it, but now it's all about Tottenham and about the Premier League.

We've come back here and we had to recover as quick as we could and make sure mentally and physically we were ready for the first game.

We've got through it and we've got the three points.

It's been hard work and it's been a great experience, but now it's focused on the Premier League.

Yeah, it was very tough.

Newcastle away.

It's a difficult place to come.
