I kiss Rodrigo and say thanks
It is a bad way, not the right way, but I kiss Bentancur in the dressing room because we need this type of reaction with character.
I liked the situation with the red card. We need at this moment the situation, not to bring a red card but we need to not accept the defeat.
If we become every game like today, we are going to win many games.
