Matus Fernandez: It's a difficult moment for us, but we know we need to work hard to get better

Southampton's Matus Fernandes has recalled a tough game at St Mary's as the team lost 4-0 to Brighton.  

Matus Fernandez said: "This is really a difficult result for us and we are all sad. When we made mistakes, they scored. This is the Premier League, so I know we need to work harder and strive to get better and better. So, we will rest well and prepare for the next game."  

"I think we had a tough first half and Aaron Ramsdale played well. I hope we can score in the second half and we worked hard to score. But it is undeniable that they are a very good team and this game was difficult. Now we have an important game in a few days. We don't have time to be sad. All we can do is rest well and work hard for the next game."  

"At this level, details really matter. Like I said before, we have a strong squad and I think we need to keep the confidence. We can separate these things and I try to enjoy the time I have with my family, friends and partners and maybe that can be a motivation for us."  

"I see the messages that the fans send me on social media and, like I said, I'm really happy here. I love playing football here, in this city, at this club. I think everyone at the club is really good, so I'm going to try to do my best, give everything I have and try to help the team win."
