‘That’s not just in football but in life. If you want success, you have to work hard and suffer.’

‘The last couple of years we had some crazy games like this, fighting until the end, and that’s the DNA of this club.
‘We showed character and, even when we were losing games, our emotions were kept in control – which is progress from the last couple of years.
‘When we were trailing against City we could have lost our heads.’
