"Good work out there guys,"
"Things were looking a bit shaky for us for a little bit there, but I'm glad you guys were able to find your way back,"
"What we have to do in the second half is very clear now," Pirlo addressed the Uventus players who were seated around him, their breaths slowly evening out after the intensive first 45 minutes of the game they had just undergone.
The first half had ended shortly after the equalizer and the Uventus players were almost bursting to rush back out to the field and build off of their momentum, but unfortunately the referee's whistle said otherwise.
It was for sure that the moment they got back on the pitch, they would want to unleash hell on their opponents.
Contrary to the high flying mood in the Uventus locker room, the Oporto locker room was silent except for the manager who was expressing his displeasure at his players and correcting his players mistakes.
