"After the past week, as a member of the technical staff, you have to focus on what matters: performance," continued Ten Hag. "We did that. Of course, that was difficult. But it is your job to perform on the pitch.”
All in all, Ten Hag sees a clear upward trend. “I am happy with the level we are reaching, with the improvement I see game after game. You saw that at a certain moment Twente were done and they were lucky to only lose 5-0.”
Sébastien Haller couldn't suppress a smile afterwards either. "Of course, it makes me proud to score so much. But it also makes me happy that I make my family and teammates proud. In the past, I lost focus if I didn't touch the ball for several minutes. Now that I'm more experienced, it doesn't bother me much.”
