00:00 I've already told you that I understand the footballer. I was also angry when they took me off the pitch.
00:05 But the coaches, we think about the group, the team. At that moment I thought that we lacked a little more intensity in the high pressure.
00:12 That's why I took out Ferran, I took out Fermin, I took out Sergi. I have also changed teammates before, precisely because we lacked that important physical tone.
00:23 I do not do it for the tactical issue and for the good of the team. I will never do it in a personal tone, simply thinking about the good of the collective.
