00:00Well, very happy, first of all. A really tough place to come, great atmosphere of football,

00:08a really good team, really well coached, with great collective organisation and huge individual

00:14threat. But we found a way to win, especially because the team, I think, played with a lot

00:22of personality and understood the game better and better as the game was going, apart from

00:26those 10-12 minutes in the second half. And when we had to rely on certain individuals,

00:31we did, like the situation of David, that is an unbelievable save. And when we made

00:36the changes, the impact that they had, it was tremendous for the team.

00:38So when a team now starts to be equipped that way and starts to be able to navigate through

00:43different contexts in a match, then it becomes a team that can win in any place and do the

00:48wish on that.

00:49It was a goal because I saw the reaction of the defensive line, which was none, because

00:54the ball goes on the crossbar and we are all watching the ball and I went, no, please.

00:58And then I see the striker in that position and I normalise the ball, but David's reaction

01:02is unbelievable.
