00:00Do you actually prefer these type of games where the opponent will actually give it a go against you?

00:05Because a lot of teams seem to just try and do a low block and stop you guys from doing what they want to do.

00:10But these, Newcastle will probably give it a go against you, like Liverpool did, and your team played very well, wouldn't it?

00:16Yeah, they try to be, they are very aggressive.

00:19They are very aggressive, especially when we are in our side.

00:23It's a team that they are aggressive, they go man-to-man.

00:26And probably when they are in their side, they are more medium block, low block.

00:31But it's a team that also physicality, they are very strong and they are very aggressive.

00:36Do you think that brings the best out of the all-team?

00:38I hope so.

00:39I hope so.
