00:00 Of course, I'm the one who gives the orders in the team.

00:03 And it was one of the best decisions of my sporting career.

00:07 That with 1-2, winning Milan in Newcastle, in minute 88, I told my players

00:14 "Hey, we don't have to take so many risks anymore, we have to try to score a goal, of course,

00:18 we continue, and if you see it, since minute 88 we've been in Dortmund's area two or three times,

00:24 of course, great decision.

00:26 Not only mine, but my staff's. And I'm the one who makes the decisions.

00:30 From here, I clearly understand the players, and I clearly understand that they are exposed to emotions,

00:40 it's logical, they are playing. Our goal from the beginning of the game was to win the game,

00:45 no doubt. During much of the tiebreaker, Newcastle and Milan were tied,

00:53 and we were in the top spot. There was no calm at any time,

00:59 we had to score a goal, we had to win the game, but in minute 88, two goals apart,

01:04 it would have been ridiculous to score a goal for taking excessive risks.

01:07 Very ridiculous. So, it was a very good decision, taken at a moment of maximum tension,

01:15 and when there is maximum tension, you can make a mistake, but in this case,

01:18 it was a great success for my staff, and mine, who are the ones who make the decisions.
