What did you make of the performance after a difficult first half?
It was very difficult in the first half. In the difficulties, we didn't lose our minds. We stayed in the match. It was terrible the goal we conceded because from a corner, they took it quickly, and we were not prepared. It is an important lesson for the future. But in the second half, something changed, and we spoke in the dressing about the energy we need in the second half and the way we have to press them and counter the game. In the first half, we never used energy to press and create difficulties, and they controlled the game very well. In the second, this aspect changed, and we played a fantastic second half.
Do you know how bad Son's injury is?
In this moment, we don't know. We have to wait for a medical assessment, and we have to wait until tomorrow. Sonny feels better now. I saw him in the dressing room. He celebrated with us. So we will wait for tomorrow.

Have you had the chance to speak to Antonio?
I had the possibility to talk with Antonio. He was very tired. He lived the game in the crowd, it's not normal. Maybe he spent more energy in the stands than he normally spends on the touchline.
Is Son concussed?
We are not sure.
Where is his injury?
It is his face. His eye is a bit swollen.
Tottenham are making a habit of comebacks. Is there something you think the team has?
Maybe it is all of this, personality and energy. But we know very well. In this type of stadium and this type of match, a knockout, it is not very easy.
The stadium was very hot in the first half, and sometimes it is normal to give the possibility to the opponent to play, to use the energy you have in the second half. It could also be a strategy. We need to try to play all the 90 minutes in the same level.
Did you plan to win or were you happy with a draw?
We tried to counter-attack and try to play to create chances in all the second half. We cannot be happy if we draw this game because it is very important to arrive first in the group stage. We pushed to try to win, like always.
