00:51Again, we have to work harder together.
00:54The things that we need to fix in this game,
01:01basically, that's where we will concentrate our turnovers.
01:06Again, it's a different game plan because,
01:09as you know, we have almost the same system, run and gun.
01:13In the NU, we are all on the high, right?
01:18We have to work harder.
01:20Pastrana is determined to prove that their team can repeat the victory from last year

01:29Maybe, we will just improve ourselves,
01:34and we will improve ourselves to our supporters,
01:38and what we did last season.
