We are happy, we are extremely happy.
I think all of us deserve an evening like this, especially our fans.
London Stadium today was amazing, bouncing with energy, helping the team even in the hard parts.
The first half was tough, we didn't find spaces, the game didn't flow, but they were there and I think after the break we really improved.
It changes everything, it changes the dynamic of the half-time talk.
the players keep their calmness and understand, and they did an amazing second half.
Much, much improved.
Not only on the ball, but also off the ball.
The way we stopped Wolves from breaking us in the middle was positive.
Yeah, I think we played many times before the injury with this shape and with these players.
Too bad they didn't follow and we continued, but I think we still have time to improve the way we want to do things under this shape.
Yeah, it's more important sometimes.
Off the ball, the hard work, the whole team was spot on.
I think they know each other better, so the communication has improved a lot.
I think also the help of the full-backs, especially when they put the big striker and putting balls in the box created some issues, but the team was OK.
Yeah, we spoke after the game and the way we did it, we proved ourselves that we cannot give up and that was the team's spirit from the beginning.
Never give up, we are in the fight.
We always want higher standards, but football we have to understand sometimes we have to step back and then react.
I think after Sunday we realised how we wanted to do things.
It's not always with anxiety.
