In an interview with the club's website after the game, Simons said: "We enjoyed this game together with the fans, and the most important thing is getting three points. I'm a player who needs to enjoy playing football, and that's what I do the most. Tonight, you could see that playing with the team was special."

He also added: "Everyone wants to perform well and play good, but this is life. You have to keep working hard every day, and every day is a new day, a new challenge, and a new opportunity to perform well. I've enjoyed it."

Simons emphasized that the team is working hard to improve their performance, saying: "Obviously, together with the team, we want to perform well always, but things don't always go as planned. We are working hard every day to try to do our best and bring the best performance together."

Simons concluded: "You want to perform well always, but in life, not everything goes as you want. But I will always keep working hard and give my 100 per cent to help the team."
