In the Premier League Round 4 match, Tottenham Hotspur FC drew 0-0 with Everton at home. After the match, Jan Paul van Hecke, a defender for Tottenham Hotspur FC, gave an interview to the club's official media.

JP, thanks for the interview. First, could you share your thoughts on today's performance?

Of course, we're disappointed with the result because we came here to win, but ultimately we couldn't do it. It's frustrating.

What does the team need to do going forward?

I think we managed to keep another clean sheet, which is good. But I felt that many times we could get into their half and reach the penalty box well. However, in the final third, we lacked the right decision-making. Sometimes we need to shoot quicker, and sometimes we need to pass the ball. So that's something we need to review and definitely try to improve.

It feels like the team just needs to grab that first opportunity, break the deadlock, and build momentum now, doesn't it?

Yes, I think the fans were excellent today. They kept supporting and pushing us throughout. Of course, they want a goal, and we want a goal too. When that goal comes, everything becomes easier. A goal changes the game. But we'll keep working hard. However, I think ultimately we were perhaps rushing things too much, which led to some poor play. We definitely need to do better in that regard.

I know we came here to win with no other objective, but I want to touch on the importance of clean sheets. I think we should acknowledge that you and Micky van de Ven are gradually building understanding in defense. Can you speak to how you're developing that partnership? How proud are you to be keeping opponents at bay?

I think everything starts with defense. To win games and pick up points, you have to keep clean sheets. If you want to achieve something, you need to have excellent defensive capabilities. We kept another clean sheet today, which is good. Micky played very well, and I think all the defenders and other players are trying to help us, which is positive. But unfortunately, it's not enough to help us win.

Finally, with a packed fixture list ahead, how important will it be to have another game soon to help the team recover and reset immediately?

I think we just need to move forward, try to improve ourselves, stay positive, and make sure we work to get better every day. I'm 100% confident that we'll get good results. Of course, I wanted to win today just like everyone else. Right now I'm frustrated. I wanted to win last week too. But I want to say that we need to move on, keep working hard, and make sure we win our next match.
