It’s been a must-win for a time now, he stated. But when it comes right down to it, I suppose…
But we don’t play the only team in the league with games that are essential to win. Naturally, both teams have to win.
This game may be one of terror or it might be one of no fear, in my opinion. Our strategy is a no-fear game. We attack it.

Hide Ad “In football, it’s not always about having the superior team; sometimes, it’s about the ball landing inside the post rather than outside, so you have to rely on your own luck.” You need to believe in yourself to the extent necessary to achieve it.

“This time, the game is different. There will be a slight sense of closure to it, and we should accept that too.
