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
