00:00 We did everything. I don't have absolutely any regret about what we have done. Always
00:11 we try as a manager to create more and concede less in every single game because we believe
00:17 that helps to be close to win and we did everything. So defensively, offensively, they make a good
00:25 goal. So one, two, three or four transitions but it is normal in that level and the quality
00:32 they have. We play exceptional in all departments and everything and unfortunately we cannot
