J. Mourinho: M. Fellaini deserves the fans' love

After the victorious match against "Bournemouth", head coach Jose Mourinho admitted that there were "positive signs" in the game and was happy with the victory achieved. Here are the main thoughts of the Portuguese after the match. What pleased me? Everything "To win three points, attacking play, match control, our own quality - we were united. It's about winning three points against a tough opponent and I don't think anyone had doubts about that or whether we deserved to win." The importance of Juan Mata's goal "One goal changes the course of the game. At the beginning of the second half they tried to press us more and that created more space. The first goal is always important - it doesn't mean you win the match, but psychologically it gives confidence. After the second goal, the team could fight very well, which is what they did. About the missed goal "One mistake - one goal. This is the Premier League and one mistake is punished. When they scored, I had to change our model to control the ball longer. If they had scored again, with a score of 3-2 in the last minutes, we would have had a nightmare. So we had to control the ball, but this experience will definitely benefit us." What pleased me Eric Bailly and Daley Blind played well, complementing each other incredibly well. As for Marouane Fellaini, I always felt like he didn't receive much support from the majority of fans. However, when he plays like he's playing now, they (the fans) have to love him, because he is very important to us." Looking to the future "I am truly happy. This is just the beginning and we need to improve every day. But we won and that's the most important thing.
