Transcript
00:00But it's very personal, so frustrated and so disappointed with the people.
00:07It has nothing changed for us sportively or for our motivation.
00:10Our extreme motivation was to join the final quarter.
00:28It's the one who came to see me, so I appreciated that he came to see me.
00:31But he is for nothing, absolutely for nothing.
00:36So that's what I said to him, I appreciated that he came to see me.
00:40It's a player that I appreciate a lot.
00:41Talk about the ethics, the integrity.
00:46If we start to talk about the history of this game,
00:49talking about ethics, or now want to mix that, I am disappointed.
00:54Like I said, I think there is always a justice somewhere in life.
00:57And the fact that something happened like that, you can call it how you want,
01:02but we don't think that was fair.
01:04And today, I think it just brings us a little bit of luck that we needed to win the game.
01:09And that's it.
01:10I didn't think it gave us a lot more motivation because a game like this already has the motivation comes
01:17from within.
01:17We spoke about it as a team, five minutes.
01:21It was not more than that because we beat them in March in a friendly also with him.
01:25He's for sure a very good player and he improves their team, but I don't think we were scared of
01:32him as an individual.
01:33But I think all that was happening around was around, but I think it wasn't a situation that affected us
01:42on the group.
01:43I think it's clear how they explain and what happened is because of the rules that you can apply.
01:54I think from that, I think any comment about that, no comment about that and Belgium were better than us
02:02and that's it.
