WE KNEW IT’D BE TOUGH
“I’ve stated it earlier than the Metropolis sport, I feel this can be a particular place and it does particular issues. Credit score to the boys. We knew at this time was going to be a very powerful sport. I have been getting questions all week, breaking down a low block, beating groups that we’re imagined to beat. It was by no means the case at this time as Fulham are a very good, good workforce. I knew we have been going to have a variety of inquiries to reply. I might been speaking to the gamers all week about how good Fulham are and the hazards. Do not simply assume we’ll flip up and, if we play nicely, we’ll win. I stated to the gamers at half-time the sport was going the way in which I assumed it could go. It would be exhausting work as a result of they are a good workforce. They have been 5-1 right down to Metropolis and ended up pushing them to the boundaries at 5-4. Credit score to the boys, it was a late aim we conceded final week to then go and win and, particularly at this time, it was much more powerful to take in all probability, to then discover a winner for Benji.”
GREEDY FOR MORE
“I feel it is that emotion. I feel, pay attention, a late winner in entrance of the Stretford Finish. You discover, in that scenario, it is what you get grasping for and need extra of that feeling. Actually, for Ben to get that may do him a lot good. We’re all happy for him and it is simply the beginning for him. I could not be extra happy. They’re the moments that this place brings. You could not write it any higher. An enormous second for us and an enormous time for him as nicely. He’ll preserve eager to do nicely as a youthful participant. It should do him the world of excellent to pattern it and really feel it. Not many get to really feel it however he has. It is what you flip up for, these moments, and at this time was a type of.”
LET’S CELEBRATE
“I will be trustworthy, the final aim was an enormous second and the celebrations have been massive. I feel that is what this sport does to us. It is why we’re in it and adore it. I feel the frustration then to the elation. You see everybody in that second, the subs operating down and leaping on Ben. The workers, the supporters. They’re those you need extra of. It flips the mindset slightly bit, naturally. At that time, you’ve got obtained one thing to carry onto, going into damage time and, impulsively, we got here right here to win the sport and the mindset is barely extra constructive, in the necessity to create one thing. It is what Bruno does in these moments and Ben finishes it off. It is nice character to concede a aim and bounce again and be constructive. It is an ideal trait to name upon, once you want it. They go a good distance throughout the group and the supporters have that further little bit of bounce and zip and pleasure.”
