C. Wilderis: "We Deserved Victory" © JumpStory

"Middlesbrough" unexpectedly reached the FA Cup quarterfinals on Tuesday when they defeated London's "Tottenham" team at home 1-0 after extra time. The team coached by Chris Wilder had previously eliminated "Manchester United" from the tournament, and after the match with "Tottenham," the coach stated that his team deserved the victory and a ticket to the next stage. "In the first 20 minutes, we made a few mistakes, but later we calmed down. Perhaps, at times, we lacked courage to attack, but it was very important to maintain a proper balance between defense and offense. We created several dangerous moments, and I would have been very disappointed if we had lost. I think we deserved the victory. We played well as a team, but some players also had amazing individual performances," - C. Wilder spoke after the victory.
