00:04We scored a goal and the game was under total control, but against them that's not enough
00:10because they just need somebody making a foul that is unnecessary, a ball in the channel,
00:14they push you, the clearance is not good, the ball goes for a throw-in, and then you
00:18have to pray because they are exceptional at what they do, the chaos that is in around
00:24that ball is very, very difficult to defend.
00:27As we said, you want to win here, you're going to have to defend the box with your life,
00:33and you're going to have to clear the ball because there are a lot of people there, and
00:37if you don't do that, it's very difficult for you to win the game.
00:40We haven't done it in one of the actions, and credit to them as well for that.
