What Was Said?

We played very well as a team. They're champions for a reason, but we showed desire. I just felt normal. Sh*t happens... sorry for my language. Obviously it happens, I went three months without scoring, but it just gives me more fight and motivation to do more for myself and for the team.
He still went ahead to add that:
Social media nowadays is full of idiots. I don't pay any attention to that. I've scored today and I'm happy, but it's only one and I've got to keep improving and try and reach new levels... I feel pride in helping the team and if I'm not doing that, I'm not happy.
