CHE Adams reflected on his cool finish at Hampden Park on Monday and admitted: “I’ve been in a couple situations before and I have snatched at it – I took my time this time.” With 15 goals in 87 competitive matches for Saints, it looks like the pressure being lifted on him at the club level by the arrival of Armando Broja and Adam Armstrong but ramped on him on north of the border could be helping him develop his own finishing expertise.
Che Adams said: “I’ve been in a couple of situations like that before, and I have snatched at things. I took my time this time and it hit the back of the net. It’s always nice to score, I said that after the last game. The most important thing was to win and we did that.”
If Saints get a calmer, cooler Adams in front of goal then his regular industry will soon turn into notches at the Premier League level. A trip to Scotland could prove to be the hidden key that helps take Saints forward.
Che Adams continued: “You can’t put it into words with how many times I’ve been capped, the performances we’ve played in. It’s a good bunch of lads here, tight-knit and that’s what the manager has made us do. He’s brought everyone together and you can see that on the pitch.”
