00:00I think, for me, it's something I embrace. You can fail once, but you have a choice whether you put yourself in that position or not again.
00:09I'm a guy who's going to put myself in that position. I believed in myself and when I saw the ball hit the net, I was a very happy man.
00:20I'm not going to be focusing on the past. That's done. I can only focus on now and taking the penalty.
00:27Of course, I know there's a lot of nervous people watching, my family included in the crowd, but I kept my cool and I scored.
00:33I actually felt calm. I felt we were in control. We have a system that we go through. We prepare well for these moments.
00:40I felt confident in the guys on the pitch. I felt confident in Pickers. I know what he's like in penalty shootouts.
00:46That's exactly what happened. Of course, it's always difficult. It was different for me not being involved in it, but I think that's part of our squad.
00:54Whoever steps up and steps in at the right moment is ready to make a difference and that's what they've done today.
00:58Everyone's got to have the courage to step up and take a penalty. Pickers set us off to a great start by saving.
01:05Cole, who does what he does, puts in the back of the net as well. We got going from there and I think all the penalties were top class.
