Lopetegui | These types of victories always mean more to the players’ confidence.

In the first half it was important to keep a clean sheet.

Obviously there were good moments from our goalkeeper, the defenders and some luck, but the 0-0 score at half-time was a good way to move forward.

I was thinking maybe we could change some different things (at halftime). We had two players with a yellow card (Dinos Mavropanos and Lucas Paquetá, both substituted). We needed to win more individual fights.

We needed to be more aggressive with our ball. We needed to be more dangerous in (attack). That’s why we thought about Crysencio in the second half and also put Tomáš (Souček) and JC (Todibo).

They did well, but it’s about the whole team, so we’re happy for them. The mental approach of the players, taking the ball, taking the game to United.

You could feel the energy in the stadium and that worked with the players and the fans and everything went well.

This energy is always special. Sometimes when you go down, they don’t let you go down. And it is very important to feel this type of energy from the fans, especially in bad moments.

It is very, very important that the players feel in bad moments that the energy of our fans is there and the support is also there. So I think today has been key for us. And there were a lot of good moments in the second half.
