“I’m really proud of my players; they deserve great respect for being able to turn the game around. The fans also did their part; they wanted to inspire us, and their support was palpable.”
“After the first half, there was a lot of frustration, but in the locker room, I reminded the boys how important the fans were. In the second half, we maintained a positive attitude and continued to believe until the end. It’s still a victory, nothing more.”
“It’s certainly a very significant result. Some players experienced sensations they hadn’t yet experienced at Old Trafford, and for the new arrivals, it was crucial to feel the support of the fans. Sometimes, it’s not easy to figure out how to overcome difficulties. Now, however, we must stay calm and focus on the next match.”
“We weren’t in an easy situation. Roma are a top-notch team, they marked the entire pitch individually, and we knew it would be a tough match. We left our opponents too much space, but gradually we managed to get closer to their goal. We knew they could cause us problems, but in those moments you have to keep believing in what you’re doing, without giving in to frustration.”
“In the first half, we could have lost confidence, especially after what happened to Bruno Fernandes on the penalty and Baleba’s exit. Tielemans made a good impact coming off the bench. We wanted to give this victory to our fans.”
