I'm really sorry I went there.
It's okay.
But it happened only once, I think.
It is an absolute thing.

And he's a bit lucky on that, the assist for Valverde, because without the deflection, I don't think he leads to the goal like he did.
But at least he's there and he's coming at you with the ball.
And really, I don't think sometimes we probably don't praise enough
players like him, like Lamine, like Schalke, like, you know, Kvass Kelja last night, or even Barcola and Olise on Tuesday night too.
And I know the game right now is a lot about physicality and pace and, you know, having those kind of bodies.
