Dalot: “This stadium has magic something different”

At Old Trafford he attributed to some extent the shocking success and overthrow of the scoring in yesterday’s Manchester United match with Lyon. The Portuguese technician in his statements spoke of the magic of the stadium, unable to explain what happened.

“It’s hard to explain what happened. This stadium has magic, something special and different. No doubt, it’s a time we’ll remember for a long time. The coach will probably analyze the race in a different way. We showed character, and the energy of the stadium made it even more obvious. It was something special, we wanted to go through the next phase. The first half was almost perfect, but in the second we were more careless and we were left behind. Until the referee whistles the expiry, we must fight to the end. We very much wanted this victory“, The Portuguese ace said and continued:

“If we were on another stadium, it would be harder to make such a overthrow in such a short time. We knew that if we scored a goal, things would change and they would, with a player less, tremble. In the end, we were lucky, but we had a big contribution – the kids believed to the end, they fought for every ball in the area as if it were the last. It was an excellent teamwork. Of course, we should not allow to miss two goals.

“We knew how important it was for us to go through this stage. The way we started showing it, but our psychological state fell after the second goal we conceded. When you have nothing to lose, you give it everything to the attack and fortunately we were lucky. “
