So there you go.
I understand that but I have to do what I feel is right, which is honest and which is fair and I think we have an understanding keeper on Kepa.
He's played all the competition and I think it would have been very, very unfair for him and for the team to do something different.
Right.
Final question.
Yeah, it's painful when you get to a final and you have that will to win the first trophy of the season after eight months.
Working on it is always tough.
The game had moments in the first half and we were...
Very good.
We had the best chance of the game so far to put it 1-0 and then the game would have been different.
In the second half we started not so great and the first 15-20 minutes we had problems sitting too deep and then giving the ball away straight away too many occasions.
But the reality is that they had two shots and scored two goals and that's the level as well.
What's your overall feeling about how your team have played?
Do you have that sort of...
nagging sense on the big day, you didn't quite deliver your best level?
There are two different halves.
I think the first half, one that is very positive and the second half in every sense and the second half, especially the first 20, 25 minutes, a different one.
But as well, you have to give credit to the position and the level that they have.
And that's not a coincidence that what they've done in the last 10 years.
