00:00You've made a point a few times this season of saying that not often you've got more than you deserve.
00:06I just wonder, is Wednesday an example of that turning around a little bit
00:10and developing the opposite kind of habit which could be crucial now,
00:14maybe delivering three trophies?
00:16That's a long question, but I'll leave the little bit out, I would say.
00:22We weren't a little bit lucky, we were really, really, really lucky.
00:27But, as Michael Jordan said once, the harder you work, the more luck you have,
00:32and this is the biggest compliment you have to give the players.
00:35They've worked incredibly hard, and I think even in the second half we didn't control ball possession,
00:41we were not the dominant team at all, but we controlled them better than in the first half.
00:46And that also has to do with the players being able, if you were 45 minutes,
00:51the other team had the ball a lot, they had to defend so much,
00:53mentally so strong and physically so strong to come up with the second-half performance,
00:58with not giving away that many open chances as we did the first half.
01:03And even scoring a goal on the counter-attack,
01:06that shows you how mentally strong and physically strong these players are.
