And in the end, it's frustrating because you drop two points.

There are other games where you went away above the limit in tough situations.

situations and you won and you scored.

So what's your assessment so far of that campaign?

You're very much in the mix for qualifying, which was the objective at the start of this season, whether it's straight into top eight or even through the playoffs, I guess you take that.

Real Madrid and Juventus away, at home, there's not many bigger games than that to finish, right?

There's a change of manager halfway through the season which is never easy and it's not about comparing the old one and the new one, but what is it like now with Pogognoli?

How do you feel personally and how do you think that the group as a collective responded to him arriving?

Is he asking you something a little bit different than Adi Herter used to do in terms of pressing, maybe the position that you can pick between the lines, stuff like that?

Are you happy right now?

There's a really good run of form, big goals, as we mentioned, decisive goals, which is what you want.

Are you happy or you still feel a little bit like, I need more, I need to do more, which is always your mentality, I know, but right now is a good time for you?

We said this is a very important second half of the season for you, just to get that level that you want to reach.

It's a big year, obviously, because there's a World Cup at the end.

Are you allowed, do you allow yourself to think about it already?

Or it feels long, long, long away?

What is it with this squad of US main national team players?

How do you feel in that group?

How do you feel the group is?

It's a young group, it's a young squad with a lot of players playing a bit everywhere.
