"This result is a testament to our team spirit," Lacroix exclaimed, "especially after last week's challenges. Today, we showed our character and made it tough for them. We limited their chances, and that's because we were united."
"It's all about togetherness," he continued, "fighting for each other, hustling, and winning those crucial duels. That's the formula for success."
"It's a mindset," Lacroix added, "focusing on the job, recovering well, taking care of our bodies, and being ready for Arsenal, our next opponent. After that, we'll focus on the FA Cup."
"Richards' Red Card Soft?"
On the controversial red card given to Chris Richards prior to halftime, Lacroix admitted there was anger among the team.
"That red card was tough on us," he said, "but we showed great resilience, and that's what we want to remember – a good point earned here."
"For a second yellow, I'd say it was soft," Lacroix confessed, "but what I want to emphasize is our spirit after 45 minutes, with everyone battling for each other – and we deserved this point."
"The game's over now," Lacroix concluded, "we've got our point, and that's what matters most."
