Tiago Silva Flash

ended up mentioning that Eustáquio spoke at half- time and that it ended up having

great importance for the team.

Is it significant for one of the leaders, who despite having been at the club for

several years,

and right now not having so many minutes, to speak up in these moments?

And by the way,

it actually ends up being Eustáquio who replaces Froholdt in the 80th minute.

Is this managing

the Danish player or could we be talking about Eustáquio’s farewell to the club,

given the rumors that have also been circulating? Yeah, um, no, about Steph,

I asked him before the game to speak, and honestly his speech was…

it gave me goosebumps.

It was, it was a very powerful message.

He spoke about

his evolution

as a player, from where he started

and how long it took, and how many sacrifices

it cost him to get where he is today.

And in this message he wanted to give a lot of strength to our young players who

already, so early, are in such an important stage.

And after that I think he, he found the…

honestly the right words to move Samu,

to give him the right confidence.

And, and this for me, you know, this group is led by

leaders inside. A group of, um, let me say, friends,

or people who love to spend time together.

Who are very, very professional, very committed to the club.

Who know how to make people

feel comfortable and welcome when they arrive, when new players arrive,

or also when we arrived here a few months ago.

So in this part, I have already mentioned this several times, I am really grateful

for the luck that I have to, to coach

such a level of human beings. And definitely Steph is,

uh, is a very good reference and very good example

of, of this one and that's why today I... I ask him to, to,

to take this speech and to,

and to share his feelings and his emotion.

Yeah. So the reason of the substitution, yeah,

to, to try to save some minutes of Froholdt that

so far is playing a lot.
