We didn't expect today to play like Brazil, or paf, paf, paf, because, OK, with the great respect, we were missing four out of six of those players that are doing those things.
But...
against Bournemouth, against a team that is full on energy and they play against a team that plays on reaction.
We were really good in terms of effort, in terms of team spirit, in terms of quantity, of aggression and everything, in compactness.
And we also created a few chances.
I didn't expect, I said again, to create more than that.
And from one of those moves, we scored.
So I think that we just deserved it.
Well, he's that kind of player.
He's a player that's playing.
He's got to be in trends.
He's got to be full of energy and all that.
And he's very versatile.
He can play a few positions.
He can play a striker.
He would be probably really good as a striker as well with his pace in the air.
And to be fair, when those balls are coming in, the good delivery balls on the far post, when he's in a challenge with any full-back in...
In the Premiership, it's up to him.
I mean, last year he scored, I think, six of his seven goals were headers.
So he's a good and quality player, of course.
