Pogba: We got what we wanted
TranscriptMatch-winner Paul Pogba talks us through his goal and looks forward to Liverpool on Sunday…
[Big win?] “It was, it was. We knew it would be difficult, we knew it. Always when you come here you know it’s going to be a war. You need to keep calm and we did this. It was very hard in the first half and then the second half we came on with the goal and the good mentality and we got the goal. We got the result that we wanted.” [The goal was a moment of quality] “It was a great ball and I had the feeling to go and I just shot it and it went in. I volleyed it and it touched someone and went in. Sometimes, that’s the perfect goal, the perfect moment; the perfect pass makes the perfect goal. The shot wasn’t the best but it went in. I’m really happy; I’m really happy with the performance. Everyone kept the focus and we were good defensively. The performance was great. [A physical battle] “It was. We knew it would be and we responded well. We were positive and we got the result that we wanted - the behaviour that we wanted and we did well. [Big to be top of the league?] “It is and you know even for us and the fans it is great, but there is a long way to go. So, now we are there and we need to stay there. Now is the difficult part as well. Today was a difficult game and it’s going to be harder and harder. That’s how we improve, that’s how we get better. Today proved that we are really focused. Our head is focused in the league and we need to keep it up and keep going.” [Trip to Anfield] “It’s a big one. We know it is a big one and then we have time to recover, to get ready for this other game, to go and get the result we want.”
