When you see the circumstances, the many injuries and a lot of youngsters are participating, it was a great match.
Also for the fans, they were very enthusiastic about the game.
We score goals, we are defending our result and we did it much better than the last matches because we didn't give many things away, many chances away.
In the second half I changed the shape a little bit because I wanted to defend the result and we were more compact in the second half and then you can score also.
So I'm very happy because it's an important victory over Arsenal that, in my opinion, is one of the best teams in the Premier League.
Now, the key factor is always that you dare to play.
We can play very good, but we have to move the ball more quickly and we have to switch the game
more frequently and the two goals that we scored in the first half were all two switches of the game and that we have improved because we did it this game in any case two times because we scored two times but we have to do it more i think but that's that's the key i think and also that we are defending like a team
What would you say about Marcus Rashford's week and his performance today?

unbelievable when when you are 18 years and you come in okay i can understand it uh last thursday against michelin because you are coming in and you do your thing without any pressure and but the second time is always more difficult and he played a very good match because he did the things what what i asked to him he scores again four goals in two matches it's an average that
It's unusual.
Has he surprised even you?
You get the chance and you have to perform and you have to do the things what we are asking.
I have always said it is not a matter of age, it is a matter of quality, and he shows it.
It's emotion.
I don't let me go too much, not every match.
I'm always sitting on my bench, but today my emotion was a little bit too high.
So I have apologised to the ref and the linesman and the fourth referee and everything is already solved.
No, never, because it's emotion and I think in the sport it's good to show your emotion sometimes, not always.
