00:00Just from a personal point of view, in terms of your own penalty,
00:03potentially exercising some demons from 2021,
00:07how did that feel when you looked like you enjoyed it?
00:10Yeah, I think for me it's something I embrace.
00:15You can fail once, but you have a choice whether you put yourself in that position or not again.
00:20I'm a guy who's going to put myself in that position.
00:22I believed in myself and when I saw the ball hit the net I was a very happy man.
00:28OK, just on that again, though, stepping up for it,
00:32just a normal routine or any nerves, any thoughts of 2021 as you do the long walk to get there?
00:38No, I'm not going to be focusing on the past, that's done.
00:43I can only focus on now and taking the penalty.
00:47Of course, I know there's a lot of nervous people watching,
00:49my family included in the crowd, but I kept my cool and I scored.
