00:00 We should take it now. If we only talk about the Euro, in 2021 we didn't get a slap in the face.
00:06 We beat everyone in the friendly matches, we got there, we got a slap in the face in the 8th and we went home.
00:13 If this match can help us, we'll come back here on July 14th and we'll say "it was nice to get a slap from Germany".
00:23 But for now, no. We only got a slap from Germany and we didn't win anything. It's up to us to use this match as a driving force and as a counter-example.
00:32 If we don't do our job, if we don't do what we have to do, that's what we're exposed to.
00:36 If we had won 5-0 against Germany, I didn't think we'd win the Euro with our fingers in our nose.
00:42 So by losing, I don't think we'll be overtaken. It's a warning.
00:47 The match wasn't good. We won't throw away everything we did, the qualification campaign, the last competition we did,
00:58 all the matches we managed to play, we won't throw everything away for a friendly match.
01:03 Even though, as I said, there was a lot of teaching for the future on Saturday's match.
01:10 But we're not going to shoot at the lads after only one match lost.
01:17 We're still united, united, we're still full of confidence, full of humility too, and we're ready to have a reaction tomorrow.
