I think we were very calm.
We...
We had the ball, we moved the ball.
When they were playing with five in the back, we explored very well the freedom of Valencia and Blin.
Then when they changed for four in the back, I had Martial fresh to come to the game and explore a little bit more spaces.
So I think everything was really calm and under control.
Maybe it's not the right word all the time, but I like to see the confidence that the players have in this moment.
No panic.
1-0, obviously, you have the risk, especially in the Premier League, you have the risk of not winning the match, which is such a short result.
The team was always confident and always trying and moving the ball and trying to play.
I'm really happy.
Again, the stability of the team, the confidence, the bench, because our bench is really good, is really strong.
You see the players that I brought to the game and they are players with a lot to give, so...
We knew in the last 20 minutes that a clean sheet would give us the three points but we thought let's go for more, let's try to explore the fragile moment of the opponent and I think this is confidence.
As a manager you sit on the bench and you feel that from the players and you look at
to the pitch and you feel that, obviously the manager feels even more confident to make a certain kind of changes.
So I'm really pleased.
But again, last season we had six points after two matches and we finished sixth.
There is always a risk of it.
But, you know, Paul is a clean player.
