You love football.
But listen, when you are a striker and you know how hard it is to do that stuff, you know, you respect.
And I say, people think that Cristiano or Messi, what they're doing, it's like they're gifted.
No, it's just hard work.
But at the same time, to do it like week in, week out, with that power, that, I mean, like instinct element that you have to reproduce every time, for me, it amazes me.
Really.
It's completely right, and sorry to jump on this, because basically as a striker, you find it really hard when you're forced to dribble.
There is commitment, being weak,
It's easy.
I'm quicker than you.
Pop, I touch the ball, I'm away.
And this is where I think, by the comment I said before, it's too nice.
It's like someone should identify that and say, hang on a minute, it's better to have a yellow card there.
And this is where I think that sometimes they've been, I think, too nice.
Sorry, he's a defender, Alex.
When you're talking about connection, it's like, as we recognize that the team is facing a big side, you know, the side that is on form, and you actually ask your player to be a bit more, I would say, nasty in some ways or whatever, because this is the only solution.
Where we're going to clubs where you know that technically they will be better than you, you have to make sure that physically you are there.
And I don't know that the players there showed enough in those terms.
So this is where I think in terms of trying to go into games, you have to identify what
upset the opposition.
