Barely recovered from the ‘rollercoaster of a match’, Quinten Timber appeared in front of the cameras at Ziggo Sport. Naturally, he was very happy with the three points and is happy with the progress his team is making. Yet he also saw that the game was not great.
The midfielder was asked to try to analyze the match: “It’s difficult, a lot has happened. We are 1-0 behind, I think unnecessarily. Then you come back very strong, with character. Girona is good with the ball, but I say, in the end we did too. In the first half you have to score 1-3, that doesn’t happen. In the second half we had a tough time.
The happiness of the three points was visible on Timber’s face: “The most important thing was the three points. Of course you want to play well, but it remains a tournament. You saw PSV yesterday, they played well, but they drew and have one point. I am therefore very happy with the three points. I am very proud of the team. You are tested as a group, we have been tested more often and you can now see that we are making progress.”
Finally, Timber was reminded that it was Feyenoord’s first victory in an away match in the Champions League in 22 years: “That’s right, on to more!”, he concluded succinctly.
