Gerrard: We showed the team's belief that substitutions can make a difference in the game

Live bar 16 January During a Premier League match in the early hours of this morning, Villa drew 2-2 at home to Manchester United. After the game, Villa boss Gerrard was interviewed by the BBC.

Gerrard said: "We were very active in all the preparations. We should have gained confidence from Monday's defeat, but we didn't start well and the first goal came because we didn't look right during that time. Later we improved slightly, but it was only natural to be behind at half-time. I said some common words that encouraged the whole team, and everyone responded well. ”

"We conceded the ball first in the game, but we didn't feel sorry for ourselves and we continued to show the character and conviction of the team. I don't have any problem conceding goals because the players made mistakes to do the right thing, but what I couldn't accept was the first 25 minutes and our game performance. ”

"The two goals we scored were outstanding. Substitutions can make a difference in the game, and in the second half, I think Jacob did a good job, and his performance deserved everyone's discussion. At 0-2 down, a young player, a native lad, went to equalize and it was really gratifying. ”

On Coutinho's performance: "It was a good start. We bring a high quality footballer to the club. We need to keep him a clear head in the game. ”
