00:00You come up against teams who try and spoil the game quite a lot and that includes time
00:06wasting.
00:07Do you give your players any instructions on how to deal with that?
00:11Focus in the game, defend yourself, defend yourself and focus in the game.
00:18There are things I cannot control, I'm outside.
00:21They're concerned if I am a little bit two metres away from my tactical area.
00:26So these kind of things.
00:27The rest, listen, I'm not there.
00:32But we will not lose.
00:34So I play many times, I lost the semi-finals against Inter at home with 10 against 11 as
00:39well.
00:40We were not able to come back because it was always a problem.
00:44It's difficult to manage, that's why you have to be calm, don't make a fault, give rhythm
00:48to the game as less as possible because every time, I understand, 10 against 11, Raya taking
00:54his time, alone balls, to win a ball, take time to go there, sometimes with Kram, another
00:59Kram.
01:00You have to understand it.
01:01Stay in the game.
01:02Don't become a little bit, it's difficult, but don't stay there.
01:06And we did it.
01:07We did it really well until the end with Dortmund, not arriving, crosses, crosses, falls, crosses,
01:12falls.
01:13Right left, right moment, try to find the side, crosses.
01:16But the crosses, they are stronger.
01:18So they are stronger.
01:19So imagine today without Erling, it would have been impossible.
01:24And maybe the space for the second, you know, from Ruben and Kovac, we are not the best,
01:28you know, shoots from above, it's the quality of the players.
01:30But they tried and I said, you shoot, it doesn't matter, shoot, shoot.
01:34And yeah, in general it was an entertaining game and would I prefer to win, but okay,
01:39I take the point.
