Jermain Defoe

I used to hate coming off.

And, you know, he's encouraging, come on, come on, you know, make sure you work hard and stuff like that.

Once you've got that at a football club, it's so important.

Are they going to start knocking on the manager's door so they could do that better?

Well, if I was a manager, he'd knock on my door.

It's an easy conversation, isn't it?

It's a very quick conversation.

Success come on today, and his attitude was unbelievable.

It made a difference.

A lot of players come on and they sulk because they're not playing.

But when a team's winning, there's nothing you can do.

There's nothing you can do.

When you get an opportunity, you have to be at that same level.

You come on and you have to contribute.

But if the team's winning, everyone's a part of it.

Yeah, I mean, for top teams, when you've lost a game as a manager, of course you want a reaction from your players and as players as well.

When you've played a game and you've lost the way they lost against Tottenham, like I mentioned before, you can't wait until the next game to pull it right.

And yeah, the manager will be delighted, to be honest.

It's a massive football club.

They're so used to dominating and winning games and stuff like that.
