00:00 I'm very satisfied because you always think you've worked well and prepared well for the break.

00:06 But the breaks are difficult and unpredictable.

00:11 Once again my players got ready, it took them two days to be focused and prepared.

00:20 It's a pitch where we've always struggled a lot.

00:23 I think we played the game we wanted to play.

00:27 We conceded a few more goals but it was a good and important win.

00:32 I think the last three months, even from our data, have been high-level.

00:38 Unfortunately we had the famous four games that pushed us away from Inter.

00:46 That was the gap that was impossible to recover from.

00:53 We've grown a lot, we've changed a lot.

00:57 It took a while to get to know the new players, to get to know me and my team-mates.

01:02 Now we're a real team, we're a strong team.

01:06 The Italian league is difficult, the Europa League is very difficult because Roma are strong and play well.

01:12 We want to continue this positive moment as long as possible and try to carry it on until the end of the season.

01:20 I always say that the group has grown very quickly.

01:27 We help each other, we respect each other, we get excited.

01:31 When there are criticisms, we try to improve.

01:37 Rafa is growing not only technically, tactically and physically.

01:44 He's growing in terms of participation, which I think will make him a champion.

01:51 We enjoy this Easter.

01:56 I wish all our fans a happy Easter, maybe not with your family but with whoever you want.

02:05 We have eight very important league games and the match against Roma is very important.
