“Congratulations to the team of Orlando, they are a great team, they played today a great match,” he said.
“I can’t be satisfied 100% how we played today but this is normal.
“This is big level of the stress, big level of the fear and normally in this case players didn’t show what they can show in this moment on the end they showed character, with this character we won the match.
