00:00I saw a lot of similarities with the last few weeks, with the last few games we've played.

00:04But I also saw some differences.

00:05The similarities were that we already created a few chances before we conceded.

00:10The first chance we conceded was immediately a goal.

00:13In the end, it turned out to be the only chance we conceded today.

00:16Why was that?

00:18Because we went 3-1 up, so that it's easier to control the game than when you're 1-0 down all the time.

00:22I've sat here a few times telling you guys how important set pieces are,

00:26how important the balance in set pieces is.

00:29And now we were able to score two, so you go with 3-1 up at half-time because you score two set pieces.

00:34And that is a big, big, big difference than if you don't score them and you go at half-time 1-1.

00:39We got also some energy out of the moments we could press them,

00:43which in the last four or five games we played, we were not able to press the opponent,

00:49because the ball wasn't on the ground, it was through the air.
