"I don't dwell on these situations. Football is always about the present, the next match, the moment you face whoever you face. It's about the responsibility to do well. We need to improve, maintain consistency, which is the hardest thing in this tough tournament with its ups and downs,"
"The team is competing well. Seven different players came on Wednesday, and there was a very good start: the team was aggressive, intense, looked for the goal, and could have had an even bigger lead given the chances they created. That's the way forward."
"I don't think as much as you do. We won a match we had to win, and now comes a very tough one, a difficult one, against an opponent we know very well and who has enormous potential, even more so with the return of Pedri and Raphinha. We'll face a very tough opponent."
Focus centers on the present match and the responsibility to perform, with an emphasis on improving and maintaining consistency amid tournament ups and downs. The team displayed strong competition through squad rotation, using seven different players and producing an aggressive, intense start that sought goals and created chances that could have yielded a larger lead. The coaching direction favors continuing that aggressive, intense approach as the way forward. Attention immediately shifts to a forthcoming challenging opponent known well by the team, whose potential is heightened by the returns of Pedri and Raphinha.
