00:00Well, of course that a team like the Chelsea is better to avoid it.

00:04It's better to meet them in the finals if one has the ability to achieve it.

00:08But we don't have to despreciate the other teams,

00:11because we didn't touch the Chelsea but we didn't touch the Victoria Guimarães,

00:13which came to be an extraordinary confidence in the league.

00:16So we didn't have to be so careful of the game,

00:19but we didn't have to take part from that side and not from that side of the Chelsea.

00:23We were focused on trying to win the team to win in the next round

00:27and that's what we've been able to do until now.

00:29It's going to be the same mentality with which we'll go tomorrow against the Fiorentina.
