00:00 and in the first half, he can't accept it
00:02 as a coach, I don't accept it
00:04 and that's what I told him at the break
00:06 or we run like animals
00:08 or we can't do it
00:10 we don't have the Barça of 2010
00:12 we don't have it
00:14 that's what I told them
00:16 last year, what the titles gave us
00:18 was a team with a lot of spirit
00:20 a team that ran like animals
00:22 and that won the duels
00:24 and that went to high pressure
00:26 and that recovered the ball
00:28 and if you show up in the second half, you win the game
00:30 and in the first half, you don't
00:32 you go to draw, people get nervous
00:34 they start to shout, it's normal
00:36 in the second half, they cheered
00:38 and that's it, that's football
00:40 what we can't do is not give it all
00:42 and in the first half, as a coach
00:44 it's unacceptable
00:46 and I told the players, in the second half
00:48 they did it in a different way
00:50 it's very easy to understand
00:52 we either give up our skin, our lives
00:54 or we won't win anything
00:56 it's as simple as that
00:58 and so we have to be patient
01:00 we can't do the first half
01:02 and if it doesn't come to football, it has to come to spirit
01:04 that's very clear
01:06 I'm opening myself up
01:08 but it's my responsibility
01:10 it's my responsibility
01:12 yes, yes
01:14 it's my responsibility
01:16 it won't happen again, I'm sure
