"The result obviously is not the most important thing, but I'm happy with things that we tried in training and some principles and our play defensively, offensively and I could see them there," he told MUTV after the game.
"Obviously, not in a perfect way [...] but they started thinking football the way I think [about it]."
"I've never seen anything like this, so many supporters, the permanent support to the team, the display of happiness with a few things that they could see in the team, so this is absolutely fantastic."
