00:01As Antonio pointed out, it's the work of a team, a group of committed players.
00:08It's also a facet. Football is attack and defence.
00:10What determines a great team is balance.
00:13And I think we have it.
00:15Today there was that part, I mean, in the facet,
00:18surely in a football analysis,
00:20that part that we've had to suffer in the second half,
00:23of reflexes, of transitions, as I said, defensive,
00:25surely it's something that, and the game is so open,
00:28we wouldn't have wanted it.
00:30But it has also taught us, it has given us a great lesson
00:32of footballers who are, as I said before, committed,
00:34who are very generous,
00:36who have a fantastic concept of a team.
00:39And all that, when it's up to us to have the ball,
00:42it also determines that it's a team
00:44that also wants to have the ball,
00:46to play well, to give options of passing to the teammate,
00:48of permanent assists.
00:50I think I'll stick with that reading,
00:52of team, of group, of work,
00:54of suffering, of understanding the game
00:56and reading the right readings
00:58at the right time.
01:00I think that's very important and this team,
01:02by its numbers, shows that it does it very well.
