Billy Gilmour: I enjoyed being back out there

  • 0:00 - 0:01
    (interviewer) Billy, well done.
  • 0:01 - 0:04
    Just the result, the
    performance we were looking for.
  • 0:04 - 0:05
    Pretty much a perfect day.
  • 0:05 - 0:08
    Yeah, it's what we came
    here to do, three points,
  • 0:08 - 0:10
    push into the top four.
  • 0:10 - 0:12
    And it's a good
    performance from the boys.
  • 0:12 - 0:14
    (interviewer) Was the
    timing of the goal
  • 0:14 - 0:16
    was really important today,
    early on in the first half,
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    then early on in
    the second half?
  • 0:18 - 0:19
    I think with--
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    when we were
    playing we knew they
  • 0:21 - 0:23
    were going to place high,
    not give us a lot of time
  • 0:23 - 0:25
    on the ball, and we've
    seen that from where
  • 0:25 - 0:26
    we are trying to play out.
  • 0:26 - 0:29
    So it was difficult.
    But the fast goal
  • 0:29 - 0:30
    was designed from Kai.
  • 0:30 - 0:31
    A lovely finish.
  • 0:31 - 0:35
    And that just put us straight
    to keep going and wanting more.
  • 0:35 - 0:36
    (interviewer) You
    look at it on paper
  • 0:36 - 0:38
    and think team coming here
    in the relegation zone
  • 0:38 - 0:41
    might be straightforward,
    but their away record's
  • 0:41 - 0:42
    been really good this season.
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    And certainly in the first
    half they were a threat,
  • 0:44 - 0:46
    but we managed to nullify it.
  • 0:46 - 0:47
    Yeah, they were tough team.
  • 0:47 - 0:48
    And they worked hard.
  • 0:48 - 0:51
    They were pressing you tight and
    never gave you a lot of time.
  • 0:51 - 0:52
    So you had to be sharp.
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    And I found out in
    the first couple
  • 0:54 - 0:56
    of minutes I had to be
    on my toes and be ready.
  • 0:56 - 0:59
    So it's been a long time
    since I've played them.
  • 0:59 - 1:01
    So today, it was really good.
  • 1:01 - 1:03
    Three points and keep
    pushing up the table.
  • 1:03 - 1:04
    (interviewer) How
    do you feel now?
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    Presumably the adrenaline
    still kicking in,
  • 1:06 - 1:07
    might be a bit tired tomorrow.
  • 1:07 - 1:09
    Yeah, adrenaline
    is still kicking.
  • 1:09 - 1:11
    but knowing it's a
    tough, tough match.
  • 1:11 - 1:13
    First match back in a long time.
  • 1:13 - 1:14
    So it was good to go there.
  • 1:14 - 1:15
    Enjoyed it.
  • 1:15 - 1:18
    (interviewer) And nice to be
    alongside Mason as well real
  • 1:18 - 1:20
    kind of Cobham flavour
    to the midfield today.
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    Yeah, so it's always--
  • 1:22 - 1:23
    it's always good
    to play with Mason.
  • 1:23 - 1:26
    It's very easy to link
    up well and rough out
  • 1:26 - 1:27
    with the boys in the team.
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    We thought we played
    really well today.
  • 1:29 - 1:30
    Top performance.
  • 1:30 - 1:32
    We worked really hard with
    not having a lot of rest.
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    (interviewer) Obviously
    it's been mainly
  • 1:34 - 1:36
    FA Cup football for
    you this season.
  • 1:36 - 1:38
    Do you notice a difference
    about the style of the game
  • 1:38 - 1:40
    when you come into a
    Premier League match?
  • 1:40 - 1:42
    I think with our
    style it's always
  • 1:42 - 1:46
    the same where we want to
    play fast through the lines,
  • 1:46 - 1:49
    counterattack, and scoring
    goals in second play.
  • 1:49 - 1:52
    So definitely, and the
    FA Cup is that team
  • 1:52 - 1:54
    but coming against
    different teams,
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    you know if they're
    playing against Chelsea,
  • 1:56 - 1:57
    they're going set
    in different games.
  • 1:57 - 1:59
    But today, they
    never, they really--
  • 1:59 - 2:02
    we're on the front foot and
    want to give it a good battle.
  • 2:02 - 2:03
    (interviewer) And
    because the manager's
  • 2:03 - 2:05
    got you so well
    drilled, does that
  • 2:05 - 2:06
    make it easier to
    come into the team
  • 2:06 - 2:07
    when you haven't
    played for a while?
  • 2:07 - 2:09
    Because it feels like
    everybody knows exactly what
  • 2:09 - 2:10
    to expected of them.
  • 2:10 - 2:12
    Yeah I would
    say it's not easy,
  • 2:12 - 2:14
    but yeah, you know
    what you're doing.
  • 2:14 - 2:17
    You're learning every day on the
    pitch on the training ground.
  • 2:17 - 2:20
    It's getting drilled into
    you, what the manager asks
  • 2:20 - 2:21
    and demands from you.
  • 2:21 - 2:23
    (interviewer) And finally,
    obviously massive game
  • 2:23 - 2:25
    to come on Wednesday night.
  • 2:25 - 2:28
    You'll be looking forward
    to as everybody is.
  • 2:28 - 2:29
    It's the stuff
    dreams are made of,
  • 2:29 - 2:31
    isn't it, whether
    you get on or not,
  • 2:31 - 2:34
    to be involved before you
    turn 20 in a Champions League
  • 2:34 - 2:35
    semi-final, incredible.
  • 2:35 - 2:36
    Yes, an exciting week.
  • 2:36 - 2:40
    Madrid at home,
    second leg, you know
  • 2:40 - 2:42
    we could have won
    the game there,
  • 2:42 - 2:44
    but it's going to be
    a tough game for us,
  • 2:44 - 2:48
    but we know we're ready
    and we can't wait.
