They’ve received some nice gamers; I shortly spoke to Christian Eriksen, he conjures up us with what occurred to him. However I simply really feel typically they play a bit bit gradual. It allows us to get again and total defensively we had been superb. I knew they had been going to ship some lengthy balls, which is why we went to a again 5.”
