Pickford: Always simulating 10-man situation; regrets Everton fans still have to go to work

Hupu, November 25th: Pickford believes that Everton is "moving in the right direction" and called on Blue Moon to continue to maintain its good momentum after defeating Manchester United 1-0 away from home with a tenacious and outstanding performance.

"It's a huge win and it's not easy to come here and win - I think this is my first win here as a player - so it feels great. It feels really good to persevere and get a result like this. I didn't see it at first, but Idrissa apologized afterwards and it went away. We are focused on winning and not getting hung up on little things like this - we are focused on winning and enjoying the victory.

During the game. There are moments when you just have to roll up your sleeves and go for it. In training, we also simulate playing with one less player.

It was a great win for us when the substitutes came on. Played a huge role - thanks to everyone involved."

Pickford made six saves on the night, including a brilliant stop from Joshua Zirkzee's header from Luke Shaw's cross with 11 minutes remaining.

"I was focused on the whole game. I worked hard every day on the training ground just to perform like this and make saves. To be able to perform like this and keep a clean sheet - another clean sheet, two clean sheets in a row - that's the Everton style.

Sometimes my teammates help me. Resolved the crisis, and sometimes I helped them resolve the crisis - this is part of the team sport."

Finally, Pickford addressed the 3,099 Everton fans who packed the away team stands in Manchester:

"They are really great as fans, and they are very enthusiastic. , they have to go to work tomorrow and won't be able to enjoy the game like tonight! But this is what we are here for. We have to have a good game to defend the Everton badge.

I have been here for so long - you have to give 100% to this badge. The fans will love you. That's what the lads did tonight. There's still a long way to go in the season, but we have to keep the momentum and keep it steady and we have a tough game against Newcastle on Saturday."source:vn 7m cn
