Following another standout performance against Crystal Palace at the back alongside the rest of the defence and Robin Roefs in goal, Nordi Mukiele discussed our strong start to the season and shared his views on our long throws and how he can help the side out in several areas. Whilst trying to help out however he can, whether it be as a full back, centre back or even launching a long throw into the box, he says he's just happy to help out wherever he can like a true team player.
ROOOOOEFS
“The goalkeeper is really chill, I would say, but also confident. You know, when you have a goalkeeper like this, you just want to defend with all your body, that you don't concede any goal, and he showed that already since he's here, and today he showed it again. He's a very good goalkeeper, and when you have him behind you, you just want to do everything. He has nothing to do in the game, but if he has to do something like he did today, and he did it well, so we are really happy.”
LONG THROW IN
“You know, it's also another weapon for me to help the team with these kinds of things, not only to defend. I'm usually playing right back, so I do it a lot of the time these kinds of things, and nobody knew it, so now they know but I think I do it well and I just hope that one game or one day we're going to score with this."
HAPPY TO HELP IN ANY WAY
“In training, I did only one and they saw it, and after we just said that we can do it even if I play centre-back. But yeah, it's a good weapon for our team, something different, and I just hope that one day we're going to score with this. It’s just something that I hope is going to help the team. This is the only thing I want.”
TEAM PLAYER
“If I have to play centre-back, I will play centre-back, and I will do my job. If I have to play right back or left back, I will also do my job. I'm just happy to be on the pitch and ready to give everything for this team, for this jersey and I just hope to keep going like this.”
WE CAN KEEP IMPROVING
“To be honest with you, I think the team is not yet very, very alike 100 per cent... but at the beginning, to be honest, I'm really happy because I'm also impressed at how we can play, and we didn't know each other for a long time, but I'm just surprised and I'm just waiting for the future to see how we're going to do because for the moment, we do well, and we have to keep working to be better than now.”
RETURNING TO THE SOL
“Yeah, this is what I mean. This point is very important because we know we play at home to the next game. I’m really excited and happy to be back at home with our fans, and we'll do everything to take the three points again and to be comfortable in the table.”
