Hi Ruben. Must be nice to have a nice, straightforward win for once?“Yeah, and a clean sheet is really important. We didn’t play well during all the game, but we had our moments. But if you look at the performance, it was a team. Focus, defending well, trying to kill the game in the second half. So, I’m pleased with that, and now it’s [time] to move forward to the next one.”
And the goalkeeper did very well today…“Yeah, I think he looks confident in the first game, but [the] important thing is that the teammates help Senne to have a good game, because everyone was focused, not a lot of mistakes, against a team that was really comfortable playing football. So, we did well, [it] was a good day for us.”
A lot of people, with Senne, wondered why he’s not played before now, clearly fans have thought he should play. What kind of thought process do you go through to decide, he’s not playing, he’s not playing, and then he is playing?“When Senne arrived here, first of all, Altay was playing, and then he arrives, and you can feel it, that he needs to adapt. New country, new training, the pressure that you guys put on the goalkeepers are massive. So, it was like a little preparation for the guy to be ready to start his first game. But now, it’s just one game, and he needs to work because he needs to be prepared that in our club, things are really hard. But he did well, and again, he was comfortable during the game and that is a very good sign.”
