“I am very happy. We celebrated the 150th anniversary of the club. We can rejoice in this victory and share it with our fans. We gradually played better. We started with a conceded goal, and this is the most important thing that we are trying to correct – not to concede easy goals at the beginning of matches, as happened today.
Gradually, we felt confident on the field, dominated and controlled the game. In the second half, we clearly turned the result in our favor and we can rejoice at an important anniversary. Aston Villa has won this trophy 7 times and it means a lot to our fans. I hope we will be consistent in our results.
Sometimes we have to control the game by positioning ourselves correctly and be patient, because the opponent defends well using the middle or low block. We must learn to be patient and teach the fans to understand how we want to impose our game, dominate and create threats to the opponent with our ideas.
When we find problems in the opponent’s defense, we have to exploit them. We managed to do it better in the second half. The opponents started to make mistakes in transition, and we did a very good job, progressing during the game, especially in the second half.”
