Brentford’s Yoanne Wissa Discusses Team’s Drive to Satisfy Supporters

Following Brentford’s win over Bournemouth on Saturday, striker Yoanne Wissa shared his reflections with BBC Match of the Day, stating: “It’s nice. We’re in an entertainment business so we like to entertain every game. Of course, we’d like to do it in a better way, be 3-0 then done. But this is the Premier League, this is why we love it. I’m very happy with the win today.” Addressing his goal-scoring contributions, Wissa explained the first: “The first was a throw-in, and we know that on set-pieces we have to try to score every time. There was a header, then a second header. I was on the back post and just sent it back to where the ball came from.” Describing his second goal, he added: “The second was perfect play from us. Vitaly [Janelt] gave me a delicious ball and I just tried to do the best I can do. You need to have composure and confidence, and today I’m happy to help the team win.” Commenting on his team’s comeback effort, Wissa remarked: “We knew we had a poor performance against Fulham and today was a bounce-back mentality. You could see after the first 20 minutes there was a lack of confidence. The goal helped us to bring [up] a level and the last 20 minutes [of the first half] was much better.” He further elaborated on their resilience: “Five minutes after half-time we conceded again and a minute later we scored. This is our mentality, just to keep going and do our best to make the fans proud.”
