then we win here 3-0 or 3-1, because I think everybody knows that they want set pieces in the last few minutes, and the ref gave it in the corner with Joe Gomez.
Everybody told me it was not a foul, and that makes life not easier.
Yeah, very good to score a second.
I'm not in the mood to talk about positive things.
Give me a night to sleep about and then I tell Danny how good it was.
Yeah, I would say mature.
What we wanted to do, we knew about the strength of Southampton, where they want to play football, so we wanted to defend there, and then changing the games with counter-attacks in the football-playing moments, we would have loved to do it a little bit better, to be honest,
The rhythm was then not too good, it was either really fast or really slow and not the normal football passing speed, so in the second half we scored wonderful goals, both of them were wonderful.
We could have scored more in the second half, we had big chances.
But Southampton did well, to be honest, and that's their style of play, that's how they want to solve their situation and their problems, and I think we deserved three points, a clean sheet, no injuries, nearly perfect.
Actually, I don't know exactly the time for the second goal, but the first for sure was brilliant.
That early goal and then the kind of goal were both fantastic, so it was a fantastic counter-break, and the second one was, I don't think you can play it much better than Roberto, and Mo did in that moment.
So, yeah, it was really good.
We could have closed if you want to find a few issues in a game or a few things which are not that good, then we could have closed the game earlier.
We didn't, so we had to defend, but we did that well.
To be honest, first half we had diagonal balls,
We left the full-backs a little bit alone in this situation, they had too many crosses of course, but Loris, I think, had a brilliant performance today, really was in this situation really strong, involved in the first goal, the counter-attack, this was his quick throw, quick restart, so, yeah, good.
Around the goals I can, of course, but unfortunately it's only a situation, and then after the game I will watch it back for sure, not only the two situations, but the game.
So I will enjoy that then.
Well done today.
