Andersen: Win Was Coming

Joachim Andersen was not surprised by Fulham’s 2-1 victory over high-flying Leicester City on Monday night.

The Foxes could have gone joint-top of the Premier League with three points, but Scott Parker’s side were disciplined out of possession and devastating on the break, leading to a fully deserved first away win.

“From our side, I think it was a really, really good match,” Andersen told fulhamfc.com. “We did everything that we’d spoken about in the week. The way the lads performed in their shape, on the counter attacks, was absolutely amazing.

“Of course you always want a clean sheet but I just care about three points at the moment, I don’t actually care about the clean sheet!

“Now I’ve played four matches and all four I think we could’ve won, but we just missed out at the last part.

“We’ve been speaking a lot about that at the Training Ground, about these small errors we need to delete. We did that yesterday, and got the win.

“All four matches I felt the team performed really well and that we just had to continue to do what we had been doing and then I was sure we would get a lot of points.

“The way the guys worked yesterday and in the other games has been amazing, and that’s how you win football matches.”

With Tom Cairney and Aleksandar Mitrović both on the bench, Andersen was given the armband at the King Power Stadium, and he was extremely grateful to Parker for the show of faith.

“I had some conversations with the Gaffer and I feel so much trust from him,” he said. “I feel really, really good here.

“To be captain after only four matches is amazing, and I’m really proud and happy that I was able to do that yesterday, so I need to give a big thanks to him.”
