Michael Carrick

And then Brian and Bruno and Mateo's coming on making a difference and Mason coming on again and nearly getting the goal.

I just thought in general everything was what we would hope for and hence getting a good result.

you've had football doesn't give you many perfect days was that almost as perfect as you get as close to it yeah I think it's as much as we could have as close as we could have hoped for you know to be honest coming into the game the change is not easy change is not easy for anyone but to then have to perform on the back of it is but I've got I've had a real sense for the last few days and especially before the game how much the players were desperate desperate want to to have that feeling and want to and want to give and

success and a feeling to the supporters.

I genuinely felt that before the game.

If anything, I was more concerned that that feeling would spill over at the top because they're so keen to do well.

But I thought they managed the emotional side of the game unbelievably well.

So that made me proud, you know, to see your team and what's my team today and moving forward, to have that feeling was great to see and obviously to be able to put it all together was even better.

Yeah, I'm not going to give you the total answer, but I literally haven't seen it, to be honest.

Well done.

Yeah, I haven't.

To be honest, at the time I thought he had kicked the ball out, Diogo, but Sam told me and his fourth official said that he hadn't, so I've not seen it.

talking about the offside decisions, I've not seen them either, but apparently they were close, and we could have had more in the game, so that's it, them type of games you're expected to have them flow, and there's going to be decisions, and that's it, today, if they went for us, they went for us, and we'll take it.

Yeah, that was that for so many reasons.

I think that today was special.

putting things together quite quickly, coming in and trying to put a print on the team, but gathering together and emotionally getting all attached to what we want to do.

And I felt that unbelievably from the staff, from the players.

So it made it a very special kind of...

days as it's gone through.

I'm not getting carried away.
