"We had to be as sensible as possible and keep in mind that the most important thing was the commemoration. On the pitch, we tried to do the job. We picked up the pace in the second half.

But let's try the unreal, we have to try, we only have one career. "I had to be the best version of myself so we could go to the World Cup. Last year was difficult for me with the national team, this season I had to show that the national team is important to me.""
""On a mission? Everyone knows and can talk about football, but playing in a World Cup... only those who have played in it know that it's special, it's a privilege to represent your country in the eyes of the world."
