“My pressing in the Champions League final and my gaze?” It is not concentration. It's just that I'm tired. After, 3, 4, 5 sprints, when I do this position, it's just to recover, recover races. I look a bit, I say to myself “wait a bit before making the pass, I have to recover as much as possible. The coach asks me not to give me time to the goalkeeper and the defenders to think, because if you leave 3, 4 seconds, they have time to think and do the right pass and it can break all the pressing. These are races over small distances. I prefer to do this race towards the goalkeeper for 10-15 meters than to make 50 meters towards my goal. It's worse. »»
