“This is the least we can do for the fans, for all the support they gave us this difficult season. But I am already intense through the finale, because if you don’t win, it is nothing. So we are glad to be there. Let’s look.
Yes, there were some nerve moments, because in the first half we missed a goal. We had several exits and the opportunity from Garna. We didn’t kill the impulse but I will say that I was not scared but I was concerned. I’m never afraid. I felt there were some situations and we had times when we could score. In the second half, I felt more optimistic.
Replacing is primarily energy. I feel that some players can relax and I feel that they have no energy at this moment. Amad gave us the spark that was needed to change the game, and it helped us a lot because we can change from Alehandro. Sometimes we allow Harna to play there because it is the only one who can stretch the game. I’m very glad for Mason. It works a lot and has quality. I really like kobby. Only ten minutes, but everything he did was good. So sometimes you will find a spare bench and then change the game. Sometimes players who start the game should tread another team. If the spare has a good mood, they go out on the field and catch rivals tired, and they have more time to think and more space. That is why you need a full composition. Sometimes you need to replace some players and everyone should be ready to play at the right time.
This is too huge account, but if you look at games, they do not show how heavy they were. We were a little lucky in these two semifinals. If you look at games, then anyone can understand that even in all situations we deserved to win. It was a difficult game and we expected it. The athlete really has a good ball. Even without Williams without brothers, they are always a dangerous team. We fought a little, especially in the first half and at the beginning of the second half. If you look at the result, you think it was an easy game, but it was only to the first goal. We were a little nervous, but we deserved to go to the finals.
The Europa League is a different tournament, and opponents are different. We feel more comfortable in such games than in the APL. Physical training is very important, especially in such matches.
Meeting Tottenham in the finale? It will be a really good game. A little emotional because both teams have failed in the Premier League and want to win something. Two teams that play in one league and know each other. It means a lot not only to us, but also to Tottenham. This is a huge game and I know that it will be difficult for people in Bilbao because they wanted to see their team at home. It is very important for all our team to give something to our fans this season, “the press service of the club suggests AMIMorim.
