00:00In the end, of course, we were all a bit disappointed with conceding a corner,

00:05the first one this season.

00:07But for 85 minutes it was almost a perfect performance

00:12against a team that goes to such a low block.

00:16That's not always easy, but the way we did it for 85 minutes was really good.

00:25Yeah, it's also nice that you come up with it,

00:29because mostly it's about Mo, his contract or his goals,

00:33and now it's about his defensive work rate.

00:38No, I think that stood out because it was a moment which we could all see,

00:43but I think if you look at almost all the times we've lost the ball,

00:47I saw a reaction of many players like that,

00:49and that is what I mean with playing against a team with fast wingers,

00:52with a good number nine, that goes to such a low block.

00:55It's so difficult to control the counter-attack,

00:58and the only way to do so is what Mo did in this moment,

01:02and all the other players did in different moments.

01:06Yeah, that's why I was pleased with our performance today.
