“There was a lot of mobility, a lot of creativity, there was a great dynamic and intensity. Post, goal, chances. Great transition when the team lost the ball. Doesn’t matter where the player was, they would react immediately.
“There was a very high tempo and I liked it very much. They went from mobility to positional play and they were very stable in the second-half. Even so, these attacking players were in the game.
