“They said they were going to be on the bench but in the second half they are going to come in”

‘Pogba (is) a world champion, Cristiano is a legend, how many times has he won the Champions League (again)?”

“It was an honour to talk with them before the match”

“It was very interesting for me (to see) like how they are feeling and what energy they are doing before the match”

“the night before the match. Because I am an athlete too and I have this feeling and it was very interesting to see how football players are feeling.’
