The goalkeeper spoke regarding his feelings following the victory: “We have to keep winning games. It’s always a difficult ground and it was an intense game. It was a good victory before Tuesday’s game at Liverpool. Then, there is a series of many very interesting games and we have to keep pushing. We have just started the return phase and there is still a lot to do”.
“Their pressing was good and it’s not always easy, plus it’s a team that pushes a lot at home. We struggled a bit, but in the second half it was more balanced and we might have scored before. We continued to believe in our success and we did.”
The altercation between Vinicius and Me
“I don’t think anything happened. It’s an earlier duel, Vini gave a kick but the referee didn’t give a yellow card. The referee said they were looking for each other, but I rather believe that they were speaking. In addition, during the minute of silence, they sang “Vini, son of…” and then they repeated “Vinicius dies”. It is lamentable and these things are shameful. Vini had a great game and it’s a shame he didn’t score. I think you shouldn’t look at Vini, but at the people. It’s a shame because at the start you see parents with their children. Vini plays football and can sometimes heat up and make a move, but I think that mostly comes from the outside. will go away and he will continue to score important goals”.
