Conversation Corner: Tottenham versus Everton
Toby Alderweireld:
“Toby, 0-0 draw, stats wise we were better. Does that sum up today?”
“Yeah I think today we deserved to win. We had a very good game, I think, we played good — defensively it was very nice. Unfortunately we couldn’t score in front. I think the first chance for us — a big chance — with Harry, if he had been a little bit more lucky then it’s 1-0 and then it’s going to be a different game. And now we have to try and try and try, little bit unlucky, but yeah I don’t know.”
“Every game we played so far could have gone better, in terms of points. Does it get frustrating?”
“Yeah of course, but I think today was our best game. We had control over the game, we got a lot of chances. I think today was our best game and now we have to take it to the next game and try to win there.”

“In two weeks, we’re facing Sunderland away — we’ll be confident going into it?”
“Yeah yeah, that’s what i said, we have to be confident about our game. Today was much better that the last three games so we have to be confident in our game and the way we play. And if we play every game like this, the points will come.”
“Do you think it’s just a matter of getting in front of games that will make the difference?”
“Yeah, if we play like this, of course the chances will come — will still come and then we have the quality in front to make a goal. And so we just have to try and try and try.”
“How are the lads in the dressing room, a couple of long faces?”
“Yeah of course everybody’s disappointed, worked very hard for it until the end and I think Everton is having a good side so it was difficult. Like I said, we played good and unfortunately we couldn’t score.”
“We mentioned the international break, Belgium has two important games: Bosnia and Cyprus?”
“Yup! We start next Thursday with Bosnia at home, so that’s a big game but I think it’s nice to play these kinds of games and we got a chance to win.”
“It’s different this time around for Belgium isn’t it? All the pressure is on you now after the World cup.”
“Yeah but all the players are playing in big teams so they know what the pressure’s all about and they know that every week is pressure. So we’re used to that, so we want to give the audience, next Thursday, a good performance.”
