Neto
Two finely taken goals from Eberechi Eze proved the difference, with Neto powerless prevent either effort in the eventual 2-0 defeat at Selhurst Park. It was the first time since March Cherries have lost back-to-back games, with the Brazilian admitting his side were second best.
Neto shared: “We’re frustrated by the result. We wanted to win this game, it was very important for us but I think we didn’t deserve it. By our interpretation, it wasn’t our right to win the game and we have to keep going. That’s football and we have to move on.”
Whilst Everton’s subsequent defeat to champions elect Manchester City on Sunday confirmed Cherries’ place in next season’s Premier League, Neto believes his team will give it their all in the final fixtures with Manchester United and the Toffees.
Neto said: “I think 40 points is the number for everybody at the beginning of the season and when the games happen, maybe you don’t need the 40 points. Our goal and objective is 40 points and we have two difficult games in the next weeks and we have to mentalise the right way to keep going and go win those games.”
