00:00That was tough. I don't think the scoreline really represented the challenge because they're
00:07an awkward side. When obviously we found out on the Saturday we were playing against them,
00:13the two games that we had against them were really awkward. Technically a really good side,
00:19some good players, smart, intelligent coach. So we had to be good, we had to be good tonight.
00:29But we had everything to lose. I don't think my team is a complacent one. It's not an arrogant one.
00:37So we had to make sure they get the job done. We had everything to lose as well. So we had to
00:41remind the players in terms of as well, you know, make sure you're disciplined in terms of your
00:48approach, make sure that you're not complacent, which I didn't really have to say, but you have
00:54to, you have to mention it complacency. We have to work as hard as we've ever worked
00:58over 90 minutes to outrun the opposition, to keep our shape from a tactical point of view
01:03and to get the approach of the game right, which is, which is quite difficult because,
01:07you know, of course, we talked about the first goal in the first 20 minutes.
01:10We didn't get the pressure right from the off and they found little pockets and played with that,
01:16looked as if they played with that freedom and found some certain moments.
01:20But, you know, after that, thought we got a fold in the game, got ourselves a bit more control of the
01:30game and created some good opportunities. But the first goal was always going to be a big goal. So,
01:36yeah, it was quite a strange one because personally, I've not really been in that situation before.
01:42Your messages are treat it as normal. It's an home game. Let's go and win the game of football.
01:48It's all right me talking about it. The players have got to feel it and got to go and do a job
01:53on a, on a talented, talented team. But obviously the first goal changes the, changes the direction
01:59of the game straight away.
