Transcript

00:00You come up against teams who try and spoil the game quite a lot and that includes time

00:06wasting.

00:07Do you give your players any instructions on how to deal with that?

00:11Focus in the game, defend yourself, defend yourself and focus in the game.

00:18There are things I cannot control, I'm outside.

00:21They're concerned if I am a little bit two metres away from my tactical area.

00:26So these kind of things.

00:27The rest, listen, I'm not there.

00:32But we will not lose.

00:34So I play many times, I lost the semi-finals against Inter at home with 10 against 11 as

00:39well.

00:40We were not able to come back because it was always a problem.

00:44It's difficult to manage, that's why you have to be calm, don't make a fault, give rhythm

00:48to the game as less as possible because every time, I understand, 10 against 11, Raya taking

00:54his time, alone balls, to win a ball, take time to go there, sometimes with Kram, another

00:59Kram.

01:00You have to understand it.

01:01Stay in the game.

01:02Don't become a little bit, it's difficult, but don't stay there.

01:06And we did it.

01:07We did it really well until the end with Dortmund, not arriving, crosses, crosses, falls, crosses,

01:12falls.

01:13Right left, right moment, try to find the side, crosses.

01:16But the crosses, they are stronger.

01:18So they are stronger.

01:19So imagine today without Erling, it would have been impossible.

01:24And maybe the space for the second, you know, from Ruben and Kovac, we are not the best,

01:28you know, shoots from above, it's the quality of the players.

01:30But they tried and I said, you shoot, it doesn't matter, shoot, shoot.

01:34And yeah, in general it was an entertaining game and would I prefer to win, but okay,

01:39I take the point.
