“I will be happy if we win. We lost some easy balls and they did a good job attacking. But today we were better.” the Spaniard told TNT Sports UFABET 

“It’s normal that you score goals if you’re close to the box and he (Rodri) is there. We have more players in the final third. It’s not like the Arsenal duel.

“His (Phil Foden) mindset is amazing. He plays in a central position and has unbelievable goal-scoring instincts. He has a goal-scoring mentality in his blood and we have to take advantage of him.

“I think it was a mistake from Villa. The ball didn’t go over the wall but it was an important goal before the end of the first half (2-1 lead).

“After the third goal They had one or two counter-attack opportunities. We have many opportunities. Very satisfied with the performance. For 3 days, there were 3 days when we didn’t have time to prepare for the field.”
