00:00Were you surprised to come off?
00:03Yeah, I was, being totally honest.
00:06Only because I'd just scored.
00:07So I'm the type of player that I've said before,
00:10I'm really good when I play off adrenaline and when I score.
00:13But as a winger, to be honest, I come off most games.
00:15It's normal.
00:16It's usually the position that is targeted first for substitutions
00:21because the players on the bench in your position
00:23is usually quick and usually really good as well.
00:27So managers feel that when you're getting a bit tired,
00:30you can add them fresh legs and they can really go.
00:32The managers face some difficult questions about how we handled that second half,
00:36that final 30 minutes.
00:37I mean, do you feel as a group of players that you had the clarity of messaging?
00:42I felt like as players we could have done more
00:45to take the initiative to control the game.
00:47I think if we do that, the manager doesn't make the decision.
00:51So I think everyone likes to blame the manager because that's football.
00:54Managers always take responsibility.
00:56But in my opinion, one person shouldn't be responsible
00:59for a million different decisions that are happening at one time.
01:05For me, we had the best team.
01:06We had the best players on the pitch in that semifinal.
01:09And in the last 20 minutes, we didn't play the best football.
01:11We launched the best players on the pitch in the video it's fun.
