00:00We cannot hide it. The same way that in the last game, I see that the responsibility was for
00:04Mohamadam because they were the team probably in a better position to play the game in terms of
00:09results and what they got the last season. This time we cannot hide it and if we can't hide it is that
00:15we are not understanding what is the game of tomorrow, but these games especially are tricky.
00:20When you think that you are superior football, there is multiple occasions of football that
00:25you think you are superior, probably the opposite team will change a little bit, will be conforming,
00:30will try to capitalize and punish you on counter-attacks. They have the foreigners,
00:35they play in a different league, they are new, you have more players playing in this stadium,
00:40you are right, but all these things I would not call it advantage because sometimes if you
00:48don't have the right approach, it can be a tremendous disadvantage. So, as I say, less cool,
00:54we are still with the hand over of the derby of Sunday, we are with all the emotions up,
01:02so the best thing is for the core, yesterday rest, today keep the pool and atmosphere of the team
01:08in low levels because tomorrow we are going to have huge demands for the players during the 90 minutes of the game.
01:15Let me make a question to you this time. You are talking about titles and finals,
01:20so how many semifinals do you play? Tomorrow is a semifinal, so we will have time to discuss
01:28if we can progress. So, semifinal, we think that we will have chances to win the trophy,
01:35but it's too early. As you can say, we are going game by game and tomorrow we have a very intriguing game,
01:43so let's not think beyond that, because I think that we are completing a beautiful tournament,
01:49our team was playing better and better, we are trying to build all the relations of our players,
01:55we are adjusting to all the areas of the pitch, we can press up front, we can press in the block,
02:01we can also defend with resilience when it's needed, so that is our focus, keep growing with the team,
02:06and adjusting to the demands of every game and every moment.
02:11We started from zero. We started from zero. I remember that we needed trials, because we
02:16didn't have players, and it was very challenging, but at the same time, the reward is very high.
02:28We are talking about the difference between a club with more than 140 years of history, or 130,
02:37180, mathematics, 136, right? Yeah, 136. And we are four years old. So, the difference is we are
02:50not only growing every season, we are learning every season. How to manage, how to challenge,
02:57because, see, for us, it's like an athlete, every half, every step is more difficult. And right now,
03:07we are in the Duran Cup, we are in the semi-finals, but we don't want to stay here, we want more.
03:14We want more, we want more in the competition, in this competition, because I told, before the game
03:21managers, I told the players, playing a quarter-final is very difficult. It's very difficult.
03:28It's not only a question that you are a good team, you are doing well, also, in this sort of tournament,
03:33you have to be a little bit lucky. You know? And then, this knockout stage, everything can happen.
03:40And you have to be respectful to the opponents, because they are playing in another level,
03:46in ISL right now, but at the same time, ambitions and confidence in our possibilities.
03:52And at the end of the day, at the end of the match, come back to the dressing room and say,
03:57we couldn't do more. Better, also, you can do, but more, no. And this is our mantra, we can say,
04:06we are going step-by-step, and at the same time, enjoying the rest of it.
