Tottenham Hotspur midfielder expressed his delight at last weekend’s victory over Newcastle and said he wants to use it to now push on.
Paulinho was making a rare start for spurs in the centre of midfield and impressed as they ran out 3-1 winners. The Brazilian now wants to use the game as a platform for himself over the next few games.
“After their equaliser we played well but most importantly we kept going. We had to come back strongly in the second half and keep focused on the game,” the 26 year old told tottenhamhotspur.com. “We’ve now got five games left this season to get as many points as possible and improve our position. I want to play in those games.”
Paulinho is expected to leave the club this summer but good performances over the next few games may just change manager Mauricio Pochettino’s mind.
