00:00I just said I think the performance was was good unless the results that we
00:05don't like to lose I think the performance was there we compete for me
00:09in this moment probably against the best team in the world we compete for large
00:13part of the game at the same level for some moment we were even better we
00:16create chances and I think the big difference today between us and them was
00:20especially inside the box and the way they managed the ball the last part of
00:25the game that they are master on that but overall I think the performance was
00:28quite good I said already until the window transferred close we can sell
00:32players or we can buy players in the moment that finish it's close or it's
00:36much better but not only for me for all the manager in the world it has been
00:40difficult to take the first 11 the reason why is because we had some more
00:44players on the bench that probably they deserve to start to play like Misha or
00:48like some different player but sometimes you have to take decision so it's my job
00:52to manage this kind of things I don't have any problem I'm here to take
00:55decisions sometimes player likes sometimes no but I said already many
00:59times I play football for 20 years and when you're training you don't play you
01:03are not happy but it's not all the players they are the same
