His match came down to two things: a festival of small bridges and a high class goal. From Joshua Zirkzee in the text. “I saw a space and took my chance”, smiles the Dutchman. “She’s off to a good start. I owe that goal to our good dry cleaning as well.”
But the striker did not want to sum up the match to his strike in the top corner. “The most important thing is the clean sheet.”
Surprising for an attacker in a 0-5 win. But logical after nearly three less waiting. “And the goals prove that we have quality on the pitch and on the bench”, he adds.
He also spoke of “good mentality” from the start of the match. “We took the game from the right end. We knew, after the Cup game, how we should approach this game. We stayed 90 minutes at a good level and we could have done even better.”
