00:00As I said, criticism is part of being a football player.

00:04Criticizing the national team is unfair, because we're all on the same boat.

00:08Players, coaches, managers, presidents, we're all on the same boat.

00:11No one escapes.

00:13When we win, we all win. When we lose, we all lose.

00:16That's why I don't see...

00:19I don't think we should raise the alarm.

00:21I can't understand, honestly.

00:23We lose the game, we lose the game, we lose badly.

00:25We lose badly, we play badly, we play very badly.

00:27But we have the second half tomorrow.

00:29So, calm down, think positive,

00:33and think that things will go well.

00:35And, as I say, and I'll repeat,

00:37tomorrow we leave Alvalade Stadium

00:40with our heads held high.

00:42That's my thought.
