Ten Hach: “In football you eat them or they eat you”
Eric ten Hach emphasized that in football the winner is the one who is hungriest and better prepared.
Scott McTominay single-handedly turned things around for Manchester United against Brentford, scoring twice in stoppage time to give his side a 2-1 win.
After the end of the game, Erik ten Hach emphasized that in the world of football the rule applies: “If you don’t “eat” the opponent, he will.”
“These games fire up the locker room. They know how far they have to go to get results. In Football.” Either you eat them or they eat you.
Too often in the first half of this season we were eaten by hungrier opponents. This can’t continue to happen.
Every player has to perform every second they are on the field. That is the prerequisite. We weren’t always determined in every game situation, and you have to pay for that. That needs to change.”
