"It didn't count… but it created a problem for us that we didn't notice until too late,"
"It gave us a sense of security that we were only supposed to have after we scored a goal, which we did,"
"But it didn't count," Pirlo said, a little smile at the corner of his lips.
"With that sense of security, we subconsciously thought we had the game in the bag because coupled with our dominance and the goal that was unfortunately disallowed, what else were we supposed to think,"
"Because of that, you guys let up a little,"
"Not in your efforts, but in your concentration. We started missing shots. We had the chances, but we kept missing because we weren't striving to be as accurate and as perfect as possible,"
"And then the first half ended, then the second half began,"
"Then our opponents scored first. With that happening, your concentration shot up again, and we scored again, but once again, bad luck, it was offside," Pirlo said, waving his hands a little for a dramatic effect.
