00:00I can't touch the ball, I can't feel it.
00:06I saw the images on the big screen, I saw my hand touching it.
00:10I didn't see it very well, it was in the locker room.
00:12I also didn't see the defender pushing me at that time.
00:17I see there is contact, I try to stay stable on my feet.
00:23That's how I can't do anything. I try to do my best.
00:27It's true that the ball doesn't change direction because it's in my race.
00:30I take the ball with me before the rebound.
00:33It's true that it's a bit hard.
00:36It's not like I'm pushing the ball and I'm making it difficult for the defender
00:40since I had already taken it from speed.
00:42That's how it is, it's the pulse, the VAR, the referees who decide.
