— We arrived at the beginning of the game. Pedro was on a inspired day and made the difference. Pedro, when he gets the ball in the area, is a different player. I tried to leave him closer to what would be the last line of Inter because when he is close to the area he is a decisive and different player. I believe that's what made the difference in the game -, said the commander.
