Anton Tinnerholm
On the pressure to win:
"Of course, everyone knows that we haven't won, and it's our first win so we're happy. I think if you look at our defense [tonight], that's the best in four months since I arrived back here. We know they have a lot of quality players, especially in [Luciano] Acosta and [Wayne] Rooney. They didn't score, and we scored. That's pretty much it."
On playing best game of the season so far…
"I think today we showed the way [Dome] wants to play and finally we got a win…Now it's an even more important game on Wednesday and I think we have to look at this game... and it shows the character of the players."
On Héber…
"It's important that he's able to keep the ball upfront and it's important for the team when we're on the pressure and he keeps the ball moving forward. I think of course it's important for him on the team that he scores but if you look at the 90 minutes he played like 60 minutes but he did a real solid performance and especially the way he's keeping the ball up front it's important for the team."
