FT: Tottenham 1-0 Villarreal
Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall speaking to Amazon Prime: “It was really tough. Villarreal did a great performance but a 1-0 win at home is amazing. We managed to get three points today and we talk a lot about ‘clean sheet mentality’ and they did not have a shot on target, so we did a really good job.”
On Thomas Frank’s influence: “New, fresh air. We talked a lot about ‘clean sheet mentality’ this year because we conceded a lot last year. My relationship with him is really good. I just want to get back to the form I had at the end of last year, and I feel like I am. I have help from him and the video analysts to get better every day.”
On working on making forward runs: “Yes definitely [been working on it], especially when Mo [Kudus] gets the ball, to run in behind. The goal I scored last game against West Ham, to make the run in behind when the centre half can ping it. There is space there [to run into] and we can score goals.
“Of course I always want the ball but when I play as a 10, as I do now, we need those runs forward. Last year I played as a six and an eight but this year I’m in the 10 and need to do those runs.”
On how it feels to play in the Champions League: “It’s a dream since I was a young kid. Unbelievable feeling, and at home and to get three points as well, amazing.”
