‘We’re building on the spirit and belief’

Tierney

Kieran Tierney is full of confidence.

After a strong end to 2019/20, the Scotland international produced another flawless performance in our Community Shield victory over Liverpool.

And Tierney says this is just the start of things to come in the new campaign.

“The spirit is one of the main things in the changing room, belief and spirit and we've got that, we're building on it,” he said. “We're just looking to continue and keep building this way.

“think that comes from the manager and the staff. It's continued from what we've done last season and building on it. When we came back in last week we've just continued. We've never had too long off so last season doesn't feel too long ago.

“Coming into games like this we're starting to believe more and more and I think that's what it's all about, belief and spirit. Mikel's drilled that into us since day one, defensive organisation and the transition. That's what we do every day in training, we watch videos on it. It's not by luck and it's not by chance. It's by hard work.

“The fans and the club deserve to be in the Champions League. They deserve to be top four and we want to do as well as we can, as best as we can and put up a fight in every single came we come up against this year.”
