It gives us peace to depend on ourselves. The first period was difficult, but it is linked to the situation in which we were, to this need to win. We didn’t find spaces, we didn’t move the ball from side to side. Then we started doing it better. We had more possession, we found spaces between the lines, we brought the balls closer to the surface, we started to play our game. Then the goal changed the game. We had to win for everyone’s peace.
