00:00 I'm happy, very happy, very moved. It's like a dream when you come back two weeks later and you lose here against Equatorial Guinea.
00:11 We were far from imagining that two weeks later we would qualify for our final because it's our home.
00:18 But I'm very, very happy. It was a match that we mastered a little more than the previous two,
00:23 even though we had moments where it was a little more complicated. But overall I think we deserved the win.
00:30 The performances are not personal, I would say they are collective performances.
00:36 And logically, as I mentioned earlier, after this humiliation of Equatorial Guinea here,
00:43 we looked at each other in the eye, we said things to each other and we saw that we couldn't do worse.
00:49 Today we are happy, not because we qualified for the final, but because it's at this stage that we lost 4-0.
00:57 It's here today that we came to play the semi-final, so we haven't left for two days.
