00:00Well, a really happy day. I told you, I sensed a great energy the last 48 hours. The way

00:06everybody came back, I sensed a great togetherness and decided to change the situation and go

00:11through what has been a different period for us with all the situation that we had to come

00:17across and the team strayed away from the beginning. It was a flow, it was a dominance,

00:22it was an enthusiasm about it. This is why I demanded we score a goal, it should have

00:27been another 2 or 3 at least in the first half. And then the fact that it was a total

00:31effort of the team. Again, we talk about fluidity, understanding, chemistry, timing. He's one

00:37of the best to do that, to manage the tempo of the game, when to accelerate, when to slow

00:40it down. Obviously, he's been missed but it's good and we have to solve him because he will

00:45start to get tired and fade in a little bit. Ethan comes in, whoop, and he lifts because

00:50you could sense the crowd's energy and how much they love watching this kid play, which

00:55is great.
