00:00No, I think what the team showed today, the character they showed,
00:03that is also what Robbo showed.
00:05And sometimes if you get a kick like this,
00:07so two studs on a knee, that can hurt for a few minutes.
00:10And then if you just keep on running,
00:12then it gets better and better.
00:13And that's what we are hoping for.
00:15Not in the least, if that's the way to say it,
00:18because I only had one defender on the bench,
00:22which is not a left fullback as well.
00:24So you are hoping he was managing to come through it.
00:27And I think he did quite well.
00:28But the moment I noticed that he wasn't completely himself
00:32was the one time that they put the ball in behind
00:35and he started running.
00:36He was just able to head it back to Ali.
00:38But I felt, OK, let's see how this continues.
00:41And I think it was quite fast afterwards
00:44where he conceded the red card.
00:48Nothing to blame on him.
00:50Character that he wanted to continue
00:51because he got quite a hard knock on his knee with two studs.
00:57So, unfortunately, it led to a red card
01:02that was a deserved red card.
