"Really happy to win another game at home with the fans. We have to continue, really happy. It's always a pleasure for me playing Champions League, I'm enjoying my dreams. Really happy to be here. It's a team that play man-to-man and you have to look for space and create chances. First half we had those chances but didn't score, luckily we had two goals in the second half. That's what we're trying to do [find consistency]. Two games, two wins. The weekend will be a tough game at [Nottingham] Forest, we hope we can continue this run."
"That's the a reason why we signed Xavi. We think he's a very good player. I think we saw some, some, some very nice positive offensive actions, the way he turns, the way he can go past a man like we talked about the deep runs. He did a few of those again. So we know that when you're playing to feet It's easy, but when you run past people, it's more difficult to defend. So I think so I like that a lot."
Xavi Simons scored in consecutive home wins, contributing to Tottenham's 3-0 Champions League victory over Slavia Prague and following a 2-0 win over Brentford. The summer signing, signed for £50 million, is beginning to find his feet in North London. Simons emphasized enjoying Champions League football and the importance of consistency while noting the team must find space against man-to-man marking. Thomas Frank praised Simons' offensive actions, his turning and deep runs that make defending harder. Tottenham aim to extend the run in the upcoming league match at Nottingham Forest.
