## Transcript

The margins are so fine, you know, when you play in the, in the big games against top teams and, and Belgium is a s, a scary team, they're so talented. You know, that little bit of quality at the end, when you play against top players it's, it, you can do, sometimes you can play, you can play your utmost and you still get beat. You know, we, at the end of the game, we created two incredible opportunities, and we were right there, we were right in it, and we could be talking about a whole different scenario, this morning, but it wasn't to be. I think, sometimes as a goal keeper you just feel in rhythm, and that was, that was I fell like that for most of the season and, and certainly in the last couple of weeks, I've, I felt good.

I, I've, the game has slowed down for me, I'm, I'm seeing things much earlier. My reactions have been very quick, and, so yeah, it felt, it felt like that. But I, I'm also very wary in those moments. Knowing that when the big bad wolf is knocking at the door that he could at any time enter. So, I, I was worried that the levy would break and so just trying to organize this as much as I could, which is why my voice is, is gone. And make the saves that I was, I was capable of making.
