00:00When he's on the field, the opponent's team, they are afraid.

00:04Okay, he's not scoring, but you know, normally he takes his chance.

00:13It's possible. It's an option.

00:18But I believe, in this moment, I don't believe it's going to help.

00:26It's not because you're taking him and you put him on the bench, everything's going to change.

00:31You need time to change that.

00:33When he's on the field, the opponent's team, they are afraid.

00:38Okay, he's not scoring, but you know, normally he takes his chance.

00:47His behaviour in that game, after missing that chance, was amazing.

00:56That attitude is something to show the team.

01:00He's there, he has assumed the responsibility, he's not afraid of nothing.

01:05He missed, but he can go again.

01:07That's part of the game, and I believe in his attitude there,

01:11to show all the players we must continue, we must believe we can win the game.

01:23Both teams, they want to show up.

01:25They won't, because they didn't play their best game until today.

01:30It's going to be difficult for both sides, and that's why I'm saying it's a great opportunity

01:35for some players to show up and tell the people they are wrong.

01:40They can continue to play, they can score, they can take the national team forward, move forward.

01:46That's what we expect from our own national team.
