00:00It looks pretty easy, but to do it is not that easy, for sure.
00:06We were not lucky, but we were efficient in the first minutes to score that first goal,
00:13after the second one as well, so that gave us a lot of composure in the game.
00:18It took us around 10 minutes to understand how to come out of the pressing.
00:23They were really man-orientated in our striker position, so we needed to have a little bit more control
00:31on the build-up and trying to find the spaces after to reach the counter-movement of the last line.
00:36I think it took us around 10 minutes, but once we did it, the first half was really complete.
00:42In the second half, more discipline, more waiting for the moment,
00:49but overall it was a very serious, very efficient performance from us, but it's never easy.
