00:00I didn't think much about it because I didn't know what was going to happen. I didn't feel like I had a broken nose. It's more about looking at the opponent's goalkeeper's head. I thought something was wrong.
00:12But when you go back to the locker room and see what's going on around you, it's a bit scary because I thought I was going home. I saw myself in the mirror. I think it was a bad idea.
00:24But I'm happy. I'm here. It was difficult because there was a lot of information, a lot of things, a lot of appointments. I didn't sleep much. I spent almost two days not sleeping, watching everything and doing everything.
00:38It was complicated. I wasn't able to play the game against the Netherlands. It's very difficult to stay on the bench knowing that you can't do anything, you can't help.
00:48Thank God I was able to play again against Poland. I'm very happy.
