REACTION FROM PUEL
“Satisfied, we are in the continuity. We took the ascendancy in the start of the 2nd half.
“A little frustration because we felt we could have perhaps obtained more. But we must not. be too greedy. “
FINALLY FROM POCH
“Very happy after 14 months without coaching but a very strange feeling because the last time I was on a bench there were 62,000 people.”
MORE REACTION FROM POCH
“Marco has had the freedom to play in different positions, he’s a playmaker.
“I’m very happy with what Kylian did as Marco and the other players had, they had a great attitude, it’s just the start.
“not worried we will get there, we will put all the means available to reach the point we want to reach.”
MORE FROM POCH
“we must make better use of the spaces with and without the ball. We need to be more vigilant. There are plenty of areas to improve. “
REACTION FROM POCHETTINO
“Given the circumstances, this is a point we must take. We did what we had to do to win it. We have found a lot of positive things for the future.”
