When they won 5-0 he wasn’t even substituted Neymar nor to Messi nor to Luis Suarez, and at the end of the game, he walked past me and didn’t shake my hand.

He played a different system than I thought he would and then changed during the match I remember thinking he wasn’t at that level. “I felt very inferior to him because it was difficult for me to control and see the game from the sideline.”
