"This is a very competitive match, whereby both teams were looking for a win yesterday to maintain a good position in the league. The situation yesterday was quite critical, we attacked and defended well, that for me is very important. If we look, in the last half of the match we managed to overcome our own weaknesses and scored the winning goal for the team.
