In an interview with TNT Sports, he explained: “You can feel the desire to win.

“That’s what you feel when you’re a player. You can see how bad the fans want it, you can hear how bad the fans want it. It’s always coming from that place of wanting to win, of wanting to be on the pitch.

“We always understand the feeling and the emotion inside the ground, but it’s also our responsibility to play for the fans, to play with the fans, to understand what they’re feeling whilst we’re playing, because we’re all so connected in the stadium.

“It’s special, it’s something that you want to be considerate about, and you want to work together with. You need the fans as much as the players in the group, so it’s a special place.”
