00:00We were under a lot of pressure the first 15 minutes.

00:06We survived, it was pure survival to get into the fight.

00:10From 15 and home, I think it's a draw.

00:13Which is really determined by two things.

00:17I'm sitting here with the picture of the one thing.

00:21It was short, one centimeter.

00:23One centimeter that you're looking for.

00:27And with what I've learned in terms of statistics and what you can find

00:32where there is an uncertainty, at least 3-4 centimeters,

00:35then it's a bit easier.

00:37It can't be like that.

00:39Football and weight should be used to find one centimeter on a goal.

00:44And 16 seconds later, a penalty is judged.

00:47And I'm tired of those hand rules.

00:50I just can't understand that you ask a defender to run around

00:55with his arms on his back.

00:57Because that's what you want, obviously.

01:00That's the only natural position for a defender to run around with his arms on his back.

01:05Joachim runs normally.

01:07It's a completely natural situation.

01:09Defenders jump, you run.

01:11And then it's kicked up from one meter away.

01:16So it's very rare that I talk about knowledge,

01:18but that's not what I think football should be.

01:21Maybe we lost the fight anyway.

01:24But it's decisive, of course.

01:27I think those two things are frustrating.

01:31And it's frustrating for our team.
