00:00No, I think what the team showed today, the character they showed,

00:03that is also what Robbo showed.

00:05And sometimes if you get a kick like this,

00:07so two studs on a knee, that can hurt for a few minutes.

00:10And then if you just keep on running,

00:12then it gets better and better.

00:13And that's what we are hoping for.

00:15Not in the least, if that's the way to say it,

00:18because I only had one defender on the bench,

00:22which is not a left fullback as well.

00:24So you are hoping he was managing to come through it.

00:27And I think he did quite well.

00:28But the moment I noticed that he wasn't completely himself

00:32was the one time that they put the ball in behind

00:35and he started running.

00:36He was just able to head it back to Ali.

00:38But I felt, OK, let's see how this continues.

00:41And I think it was quite fast afterwards

00:44where he conceded the red card.

00:48Nothing to blame on him.

00:50Character that he wanted to continue

00:51because he got quite a hard knock on his knee with two studs.

00:57So, unfortunately, it led to a red card

01:02that was a deserved red card.
