In detail what he said:



“I’m excited. I still feel the emotions. If I were to lie to you now and I was telling you that I didn’t feel it, I would be a bad liar. You know, when I first got out there, I was very anxious, I just wanted to go out there and show what I could offer, to show that I want to be part of this derby, to win a game in this derby. Being part of this derby is a blessing. So I try to enjoy it as much as possible and also try to win ».

What was the key to this win: “Our defense, I mean, was the key to defense in the second half, as we then raised the defense and played more with the body what in the first half. You know, they started playing well, we let them play well by giving them easy shots and overturned it in the second half, and that was really the key to winning the game, you know, when you lose, you lose five points in the third quarter of a team like this, you just have to find it..

For what the dominance gives: “This victory gives a little advantage, a little boost. But it also gives the other team motivation to return and win on its stadium. It will not be the last time we will deal with them. We will play them another 11,000 times, so winning the first one is definitely important. “.

How is the chemistry without players missing with injury: “When some players are injured, others are given the opportunity to take action and learn. You know, especially to someone like me. It gives me the opportunity to learn a little more in practice and try to exploit it.

You know, you see the players really trying and giving their best and trying to make a difference, because you know we are missing some players. And it is very important that everyone comes forward, especially when you lose very important players ».
