Juande Ramos felt our quickfire double in the first half paved the way for a
comfortable win against Hapoel Tel Aviv in Israel on Thursday night.
After a cagey start to this UEFA Cup group match in the Bloomfield Stadium,
Robbie Keane's sweetly struck volley from Steed Malbranque's cross opened the
scoring after 26 minutes and five minutes later, Malbranque again provided the
ammunition for Dimitar Berbatov to head home from close range.
The goals not only provided the platform for a commanding display but also
knocked the stuffing out of the home side - previously unbeaten in six home
European games.
Hapoel TA had defender Gal Shish sent off for two yellow cards - two rash
challenges on Aaron Lennon - at the start of the second half and the only
disappointing aspect of the night was that we were unable to add to our tally. Darren Bent went closest when he struck the post late on.
Nevertheless, it was our first away win of the season and put us back on track
in the UEFA Cup after losing our group opener against Getafe.
"It was a typical UEFA Cup game," reflected Head Coach Juande afterwards.
"Winning was very important for us after losing the first game.
"The two goals were important and gave us confidence. After that, our play was
more relaxed. The players wanted to give the maximum effort and we created a
lot of opportunities. I was very pleased with the attitude and the performance
of the players.
"We didn't play as well as we can but I think we will have a lot of confidence
going into Sunday's match against Wigan."
==============================================================================
Ramos覺得早早就進兩球讓我們能很舒服的贏球
這一場也是這一個賽季我們各項賽事客場的第一勝
我們這一場勝利也讓他們的Uefa Cup主場六不敗紀錄中止
他們下半場一開始就有一名球員因為侵犯Lennon而被罰下 但是我們沒辦法再進一球
Ramos說:
" 這是一場典型的聯盟盃比賽
對輸掉第一場的我們來說這一勝很重要 "
" 兩個進球給很重要 並帶給我們信心
在此之後我們踢的很放鬆 球員盡最大努力表現 我們創造了不少機會 "
" 我對球員的態度和表現很欣慰 "
" 我們沒有表現到最佳 但是我想我們會帶著很多信心挑戰Wigan "
