Juande Ramos felt we thoroughly deserved our Carling Cup victory at Newcastle on Wednesday night. The defence of the trophy started impressively as Roman Pavlyuchenko's first goal in a Spurs shirt after 62 minutes was quickly followed by Jamie O'Hara's smart finish for a 2-0 lead at St James' Park. Solid defensively throughout, those goals were always going to be enough - Michael Owen made it 2-1 in the final minute but there were no further scares. "We deserved the win," stated Head Coach Juande. "The first half was more equal and the two teams were at a similar level but we took the advantage in the second half. "We scored the two goals and even though Michael Owen scored right at the end, I don't think you can argue with the overall result. "You know you need to win in the Carling Cup otherwise you are out of the competition and the players looked fit and had the confidence to win. The scoreline was good for us." Juande was asked if the result - our first domestic win of the campaign - could change the season. "You never know what is around the corner," he replied cautiously. "The result does give us peace of mind but we'll have to see what happens in our next game at Portsmouth on Sunday. "Portsmouth are strong at home, so it will be a test." ============================================================================== Ramos覺得這場比賽的勝利是我們應該得到的 Ramos說: " 我們應該要贏的 " " 上半場兩邊勢均力敵 但是下半場我們取得了優勢 " " 我們進了兩球 在結束前Owen進了一球 我不認為這能反駁比賽整體的表現 " " 你知道你必須要贏這場球 否則就要被淘汰掉 球員們看起來都很好 他們有贏球的信心 比分對我們是好事 " 問到這場球對以後的影響 " 你永遠不知道下一個轉角會有什麼 " " 這場球讓我們的心情好些 但是我們會看看禮拜天會發生什麼 " " Portsmouth在主場是一隻強隊 所以這將會是一個試練 " -- Ｔo Dare is to do! --
