00:00 We will say that there was more pressure on the two previous matches than on tomorrow's match, even if it's a more important match because it's a semi-final, it's for a place to go to the final.
00:16 Yes, there is pressure, but when you play in a competition like this, you are under pressure, so we will manage it by saying that we are not far from the final.
00:32 And especially, from where we come from, it would be a shame to put pressure on ourselves and not play the match of tomorrow at full strength.
00:44 It's not that we had nothing to lose, because it would be a lie to say that we had nothing to lose, but we come from very far, we made all the efforts to get our heads out of the water.
00:55 Today, when we got our heads out of the water, we will not give up now and we will not give up because we have the pressure not to reach the final.
