00:00 I experienced it with all our fans, with great anxiety.
00:08 We managed to unlock a very difficult game, especially thanks to our opponents who played a very intelligent, very attentive and energetic defensive game.
00:20 We had difficulties, it is clear that after Mike's expulsion he put us in particular conditions.
00:26 It seemed that he wanted to go to Porta Cristian, but then I said that it was better to go to Oli, who is a little taller.
00:33 I have to compliment Oli, but I think he is part of a mentality, a team that never wants to give up, that wants to believe in us to the end.
00:43 I think he was rightly rewarded.
00:46 I think the growth of the team is especially in this direction, until recently it seemed that we could win games only when we managed to play our opponents better.
00:58 Now we manage to win games even when we are not brilliant, even when we are not very precise, even when there are difficulties.
01:06 This is very important, because the big teams know that playing so much, every three days, it can not always be the best evening.
01:16 We always believe, we always fight, we always help each other.
01:19 With the support of our fans, who were also fantastic here at Marassi, especially in the second half we were all together.
01:29 We put on a performance that was certainly generous, certainly willing, and we had a very difficult victory.
01:36 For this reason it is also very important.
01:38 We can all do even better, I keep saying that we have done very well, and it is true that the group is a cohesive group.
01:46 It is clear that for players who have arrived for three months, their adaptation and training cannot be finished.
01:54 We have to learn from the players, from the league, from the difficult games.
01:59 We can grow in many areas, in many situations, but also individually.
02:06 There are many players who can grow, but it is clear that we put ourselves behind four very demanding weeks.
02:15 We had a very bad game with the heavy defeat of the derby, but they saw us react, they saw us play excellent games, excellent results.
02:24 Unfortunately we did not get the deserved results in the Champions League, because having only two points after two games like this is a shame.
02:36 With normal things we should have had at least four points, if we had a little luck even six.
02:42 Having two is not enough, but we look forward and we will play the Champions League with a lot of conviction.
02:51 Our goal is to be competitive and try to win.
02:55 Like us there will be Inter, Juve, Napoli, I think that these four teams will fight for the title.
03:05 It was not so obvious to have all these points after the first eight games, we also had a particular calendar.
03:12 I don't know if many have noticed, this was the fifth transfer in eight games.
03:19 It's too soon, we know that we have a break now and we will try to recover players.
03:25 We will try to recover energy, because we know that the week of Juve, PSG and Napoli will be very important.
03:37 It will be a very difficult week for the league and the Champions League.
03:42 I am satisfied with the reaction after the derby, I am satisfied with the performance of the team and with the win tonight.
03:51 We still have a lot to do.
03:53 [BOOM]
