Clement admits Viaplay Cup glory has made him ‘hungry for more’

James Tavernier’s 76th minute goal won the Viaplay Cup at Aberdeen’s expense at Hampden and even as his squad was lapping up the adulation of their supporters, the Belgian was telling them to enjoy the moment but be ready to get straight back into the league fight against St Johnstone on Wednesday night.

Clement said: “I’m really happy and proud also. If I see the path that the team has taken in the last nine weeks, everyone sees a team who is growing. It is not easy after a historic win on Thursday, in an away game in Seville with the travelling and everything, to have the same focus that they had today. That was a main thing for me also and they did a brilliant job.

“It creates a certain hunger for more. That is my mentality and always how I have been. I see this more and more in the dressing room. It doesn’t mean we are going to win all the games all season, that is not realistic.

“But we need to push to win all the games all season and to try to get that. If you have this mentality with the way we want to play football, the way everything is analysed with the quality we have, we can do really good things.”
