How do you feel after that thrashing against Sampdoria? (News reporter)
First I don't think it was thrashed, it was only 3-0 if it was 4 or 5 it would be a 6+ massacre rout, second I feel unsatisfied it was my chance to score the first ha-trick of my career and I can't do it in this game alone I hope to be able to do 1 before the age of 20 if I don't think the Golden boy isn't worth as much as they say, for them to give it to me. (Usman)
Golden boy think you can conquer Golden boy?
Well, this year I'm the most promising young man in terms of what I think I can score 8 goals and 2 assists in 18 games and at the beginning of this season I already reached 9 goals 1 assist in just 9 games if I'm not considered with that average as victorious I still have time to show that I can win this trophy. (Usman)
That's a good confidence you have there, so we're curious. Do you think you can keep 1st place until when?
If I said we would be champions would you believe it? (Usman)
What assumptions do you base this on?
Well, you still have to ask how long we will be placed first in the championship, even if we try hard in each game we do not have control of it when we are practically only 1 point away from 2nd place, and we will face it in the next game at home, or either we have a chance of moving away from him, but we also have the possibility of losing the first position after this interview.
Thank you for these answers, our questions are over.
Good! If you did really well on the press tour, they really are behind our heads. (Conti)
I hope we can stay in first place for longer. (Usman)
If we can keep winning we will stay, no need to think about it too much(?)
???(Usman)

It's hard to think about it, but we are tied for having failed passes at the beginning of the game, I know it's a difficult game, but to miss at the beginning of a game for the throne was that a lack of mental or psychological preparation? (Ivo)
Are you lacking will to win or were you scared to face them?
Good boss, I think it's just nervousness that they're playing a final for the first time in their lives. (Conti)
Well well Madam Captain it wasn't a direct question it was a rhetoric if it was to be answered I didn't need so many details I just needed a yes or no strong enough to convince me.
As you conceded the goal at the beginning of the game, they stayed on the defensive and played on the counterattack, which made you more tired than them because you were pressing them to tie the game, now feel free to try to win with against their defense at full power to catch them and his attack running like crazy to beat them.
All I ask of you now is to try to keep possession of the ball as much as possible and be careful with close proximity, that's just pretty simple, isn't it?
Join hands.
