“I studied this team and knew the quality and experience, and because of their work they could have registered us here,” Ferrera said at the press conference organized by CONMEBOL after each match. “Today they played without losing anything. The match was very mental: if Rooney’s first ball was a goal, we’d finished our opponent emotionally. But when we got 0-2, they were very strong emotionally and we had a feeling. Defeat, which is normal.” The mental factor prevents you from focusing on what you have to do. It was very clear that after the second goal, our feeling was that we could not lose the advantage.
