Aaron Paul

and I started taking penalty kits with the boys.

And I'm going to be honest with you, the looks I got from some of the boys, that was on Monday.

But what I did was I got into them psychologically, into their heads, and they were finishing the pens that they were taking.

And, but they were proving a point to me that they could score, which is what I wanted to do.

The second day, I got all the academy staff out, under 18s, under 21s and the whole staff.

And they were like, sort of, I've had them waving banners behind the goal.

And again, on the Tuesday, the boys were like taking all these kicks and,

And then on the Wednesday, we went down to Hillsborough and we trained on the pitch.

And this time I'd done it under a chorus of boos under the tannoy.

So I always changed the setting with them and gave them a different focus.

So on that Thursday night, when it came to 5-5 and the kicks were awarded, I just looked at them.

It was the easiest team talk I said.

I said, lads, we're prepared for this.

Go and do what you do.

Go and finish.

Go and end the game.

And if you look at the five kicks,

what they took, they were absolutely sublime.

So when you look back on it, and I suppose that's why afterwards you see me embrace a real staff colleague of mine, Tom Bates, and was there and I just embraced him and just said like, because the work and over those four or five days, the intensity to make sure that everything was possible, that we were going to leave it on the pitch was achieved.

So there was three points to that.
