00:00We were facing a rival that last season had done an extraordinary season.

00:06A rival that knows how to play very well with different ways of attacking and that invites you to go as a team

00:14so that those with the five that always position the streets of attack generate difficulties for you.

00:22I think I give a lot of value to concentration, tranquility and never losing the block

00:29that didn't allow them to have the goal situations that they normally generate

00:36because they generate a lot of offensive play.

00:46where I think we were able to handle the second half from the beginning to the end

00:50with a lot of defensive security and above all with a strong and fast counter-attack

00:57with the players that came in from the bench giving us what we needed.
