Generally speaking, he was satisfied with his performance and victory. Coach Mourinho said, “From the beginning, the attitudes of the players were excellent. It was a good game overall.”
In particular, he praised the award-winning players. “Ndombele is really creative. He is one of those players who can break the balance. Wickham tried to stop Ndombele with a manmark, but he was able to break it. Besides, he can score goals for us.”
“Winx was also very good. But all the players did a good job.”
