We think we deserve the three points, we have them.
That we are good enough to do that in a moment, so that's it, nothing else.
We spoke directly after the game in the dressing room,
all over the world.
There are now Brazilians coming back from a US tour and stuff like that, so we need to... But that was the perfect start for us now, 12 points is brilliant, but of course it's not enough, so we need to keep going.
After the international break we play away at Tottenham, which is one of the most difficult jobs to do in the Premier League, and we know that, but it's really OK.
Hopefully now they come all healthy back and then we have to make the steps,
We have to grow as a team still, and that's what we try, of course, and good results help if you judge them right, if you analyse them right, then it helps, and we do that.
So we will see what the future brings.
Well done today.
Thank you very much.
A lot, of course, especially that kind of game when the opponent plays that many long balls.
I don't know a lot of centre-halves in the world who can deal with that against Christian Benteke like Virgil did tonight.
So, yeah, it gives me, it gives us a lot of confidence in these situations, but apart from that, he's quite a nice footballer, so that helps as well.
Yeah, of course, Crystal Palace Monday night, very confident, I don't know how many good results, didn't lose since we were last time here.
Now you really play the system, they play constantly with high-quality players around the world, there are not a lot of teams who can line up Townsend, Zaha, Benteke, Milojevic,
all these players, so that's just a really good football team.
With a clear, very simple in this case against us, but clear plan, so it means cause us as many problems as possible with these long balls, and then if you win the second one, try to come really quick in behind the last line and have these 1-1 situations with Zaha, it's difficult for us to really be...
completely safe in these situations, but we were there, we helped each other and so we could avoid big problems, but of course it was not a brilliant performance of us tonight, so I would say both full-backs can play probably 70% better or 80% better, that would help, but we worked really hard and that's absolutely OK, so I'm happy with the performance and very happy with the result.
The two goals we scored I like as well, but yes, of course, I think Alisson had two or three outstanding moments.
