“We scored at the end, it was a difficult match. They tried to take the ball away from us, to put good pressure on us. We were patient and we managed to score. It was a bit frustrating that it didn’t want to go in. We made some good decisions at the end, with a bit of luck, but we had to go and get it. We had a lot of chances, we tried to find the spaces, then they dropped the pace a bit too. The coach asks me to create spaces, I’m a player who wants to help the team. I’m happy with my work.”.
