00:00 It is my duty to stand in front of you, to stand in front of the cameras and give a very
00:11 clear and honest assessment of what happens on the game. This is what I did, reflect very
00:17 openly how I felt that the team played and how the game was conditioned by these results
00:25 with the decisions that were made. It is my duty to be defending my players, supporting
00:31 my players, supporting my club, defending my people in the best possible way and this
00:36 is what I am going to do time after time. I do it in the way I feel with the evidence
00:41 and being as clear as possible. I always do it when we play really need to say that, when
00:46 we have lost to take my responsibility, the first one me, to do it. It is the way that
00:53 I am and I have to defend my club.
00:55 Errors are part of an evolution. The trajectory is never going to be like this. There are
01:00 always bumps along the road and maybe these things are very necessary to happen to improve
01:05 the game in the right way. That is it. But we have to talk loudly. You have a problem
01:10 and you put it there in your drawer. The problem is in the drawer and it is going to stink
01:13 at some moment. If we have a problem, let's talk about it, let's try to improve it and
01:17 let's try to, in a very constructive way, try to improve it. That is it. That is what
01:22 we are trying to do nothing else guys
