00:00I'm sure you can imagine what Viv said when I didn't name her in the team.

00:05I expected it, I expect that from every world-class player,

00:09when you don't put them in the team.

00:11But I think it's not that bit that I think is almost the defining factor

00:18between being a real top player, I think it's what happens when you go on.

00:22And far too many times I've seen a player that has been frustrated

00:26and has gone in and not been able to turn the frustration

00:29into a real world-class performance,

00:31and I think tonight you can see the level of Viv, right?

00:35Whether she's in or she's out, I said to her at half-time,

00:38ten minutes before I said to her,

00:40you will go in at half-time, and I knew that before the game.

00:43But you're going in to be the difference in a tight game,

00:46and to be able to do that even though you wanted to play all the way through,

00:49I think shows her level.
