is another day of the Premier League, and I'm pretty sure that all of us, us second, Chelsea third, and the others fourth, fifth, sixth, I'm pretty sure that everyone is going to fight for points and is going to try to reduce the distance, which is the normal thing in a championship, but of course the advantage is a very good one.
Jose, thank you.
Thank you.
Oh, no, where's the defence?
I think it was a very difficult game for us and for them.
but I think it was more difficult for them than for us.
I think we kept control of the game for long, long periods in the game.
We started really well.
In the first half, we were completely in control.
In the second half, David had two great saves, but isolated from the context.
A long-distance shot and a rebound in...
in the box, but the game was completely under control, not just by the tactical point of view, but also by the emotional point of view.
I think we control very well the emotion of the game, of ourselves, and also from them, and also we could influence the atmosphere in the stadium, which was, I think, always showing their disappointment, because I thought they were waiting for an easy match for them, and it wasn't.
They did tactically by the defensive point of view.
They did really well.
We had people that individually...
perform in a way where the tactical plan for the team was exactly there.
We should have had a little bit more.
I know that we had a big chance that I thought Zlatan was going to score and this is the game, you score that goal, 1-0, goodbye, it's finished.
But I think we missed a little bit of sharpness through the middle.
