00:00Yeah, very happy, very happy for today, very happy overall for this fourth win.
00:06I think we had today a very good opposition in front, similar to Villarreal the other day.
00:13Teams that technically are really good, it's difficult to defend them a lot of times,
00:20and I think today was the key how we started.
00:23We needed a strong start, be aggressive, recover balls, win our duels,
00:27be dangerous in transitions, and I think we've done it,
00:32and there's been a different grade from the last ones where we've conceded first,
00:36after you need a comeback, and today I think we've started better,
00:40and the game has gone differently.
00:42And he's up in that six and six in the league for him this season.
00:46He always seems to be in the right place at the right time to score him.
00:50Yes, Alex, I think he's a striker.
00:52If we can put him in those positions, we can provide him good crosses, good situations,
00:58he will score the goals.
01:00I think it's a matter of, in this case, Bradley winning the duel,
01:04going 1v1, being faster than the opposition, and finding good spots.
01:12Andy?
01:23Yes, especially in the second half.
01:24In the second half, obviously, we defended lower,
01:28we didn't give so much space that it was 50-50 in the first half.
01:34Both defences were quite high, and then there was space behind both defensive lines.
01:39In the second half, I think we were more compact, but it's a team that,
01:42if you see stats, and they cross a lot, so you have to do the basics very well,
01:46you have to clear the ball very well, you have to block shots very well,
01:49block crosses, win second balls, and I think overall our defenders have been good
01:54doing those basics.
01:56Thanks for joining us.
