Our high pressing, our build-up, outstanding.
So we are so, so happy because it's, of course, another step forward to be champion.
We have 78 points in the first of March, so it's a lot of points.
And again, the performance, we did perfect, perfect.
Yeah, we saw that they are able to make high pressing and after that when they are unable to win the ball, they defend deep and after they control the counter-attacks when they play against Willian, against Hazard, against Pedro, they are so, so, you know, so dangerous, so quick.
But we control it, we're perfect with Alex and Sinchenko, with Kyle, with Ota, Nico and
Nico Tamendi and Jaime, so I think we played really good in the quick with the ball, nobody made extra passes or extra touches, so everybody involved in our game in the end.
It's not easy, they defend nine players in the box, it's so complicated to try to create chances.
Well, we are close to being champions when you have this opportunity.
It was so important, our two victories against Arsenal, especially the Carabao Cup, gave us a lot of confidence and everybody is involved in being champions.
That's why we played the first game until the last one with this idea.
I think the way we played showed that.
Of course, but we didn't shoot, one shouldn't target, so Chelsea, when it's the most prolific team creating chances, I saw the game for example in Old Trafford when they created against Barcelona, they created the goal and they had two other chances through three posts from Willian, so today we were so good and we didn't concede anything.
We are close, but it's not really done.
So, of course, we've made it in our hands.
Now it's Wednesday, we start again with 4-0.
Just try to stay calm.
I think before, I think two or three weeks off, we have Basel and Stoke City.
And before that, stay calm.
What do we have to do?
