Twain was a little bit nervous himself, but it was not as bad for him as for some of the players. He had been to many important finals previously, but he was just a little bit nervous about this first time—the first time he led the national team to the final of a major international competition.
As a manager who used to be a Chinese football fan, he had a little "international competition" complex. The World Cup and European Championship were the main focus of his football life for a very long time. There was even a period of time when he thought that national teams were better than clubs were as they represented the best team in the country.
All these became a joke later. However, he was still excited to be able to take part in the final of a major international competition like the European Championship.
