The coach emphasized that getting three points even with an imperfect game is a key indicator of the team’s maturity. Rosenior emphasized that the beauty of the game does not always guarantee the result, but the ability to win is a must for a top club.
“If you want to be a winning team, you have to find a way to win when you’re not at your best,” the coach said.
At the same time, he assured that his long-term goal is an attractive style: “I said a few things about the demands of the club. I want us to play free football and for the fans to enjoy what we do. I’m here to help the boys improve and at the same time win football matches,” emphasized Liam.
Rosenior paid special attention to the leaders of the team — Cole Palmer and Rhys James. As it turned out, both football players entered the field having problems with preparation, which makes their contribution to the victory even more important.

“Palmer is a fantastic player. But I have to give credit to Rhys James as well. It was an outstanding team performance from Cole and he will only get better.” – said the mentor.
