"I think we controlled the game well. The three goals in the first half helped us a lot. We looked for openings and I think we did that very well. We have to keep going like this. Correct our mistakes. Playing like this, it's difficult for anyone to beat us."
"I change my penalties a bit to confuse the goalkeeper. Nowadays, goalkee[pers are very prepared], so you have to be smart about where you place the ball and how you approach it to increase your chances of scoring."
