It’s not truthful. So no less than now we have extra, two extra video games. Hopefully, we do our half. Mathematically attainable, diba. It will likely be as possibly more durable than at the moment. I don’t know their—no matter they need, I don’t know what they need however we’ll do our half.”

“It’s not, once more, it won’t be simple. It will likely be onerous as a result of si NU nonetheless desires to be twice-to-beat. They wish to get that benefit, twice to beat benefit, by successful that recreation in opposition to us. That very small, that slim likelihood, must be sufficient motivation for our crew. There’s nonetheless an opportunity. Life is unfair however you’ve got an opportunity. You’re nonetheless standing up. You’ll carry on preventing. That’s what we preach,” Racela mentioned.
