I actually do not talk about referees, nor group around them, nor search for yellow cards for opponents, nor cover things. And, needless to say, lessons in just how to play soccer, that they do well. We must try, humbly, to follow along with that line. That is an sport, with nothing to complete with previous ones. Anyway, which was quite a while before. We have perhaps not performed there for weeks. We should decide to try and play possible as well to get the very best effect possible. Variety does not matter therefore much in activities between the best clubs. The moment when the game is played doesn't have significance."
