“I think the players have learned some lessons from Brentford. For example, we were more compact with the long balls,” says Ten Hag. “Of course we are very happy here. In the early stages we could have created a bit more, but I was satisfied. It’s the beginning of the season and it’s hard. You have to fight and we did. We have been rewarded for that.”
Bruno Fernandes became the match winner at St. Mary’s Stadium. He hit the ball 10 minutes after the break after a cross from the right wing. “It was a fantastic finish and I am very happy for Bruno. We can improve, that’s for sure. There is room for improvement, to control duels more. But we are not that far from it.”
