Southampton fullback Bertrand: Hughes changes already being felt

Southampton fullback Ryan Bertrand says new manager Mark Hughes has quickly shook things up.

Southampton were more resolute against Wigan in their first game under new boss Hughes as they showed their class to reach the FA Cup semi-finals.

“We've just been working on the basics in our first couple of days with him," said Saints skipper Bertrand.

“Just refining the basics and upping our levels, our intensity and our attitude towards the game.

“That hasn't really been an issue, but where do you start? You come into a new team and it's common sense to start there."

He added: “My initial impressions are very good, very good. I'm looking forward to playing the remainder of the season with him."
