During half-time in the dressing room, an agitated Marco Silva walked up and down the dressing room, paying attention to his players.
All of them were tensed, still filled with the adrenaline of the first half.
Despite the fact that the first half ended 0-0 with neither team managing to break the duck, it was a highly intense game full of ups and downs.
After pacing up and down some more, Marco Silva clapped loudly, attracting the attention of his players. "Come on guys!" He stared at them.
"This is the game of our lives!"
"When last did you play in a final?"
"A final is something that comes once in a lifetime for most football careers, that's how important tonight is for us".
"I don't know about you but I definitely don't want to just come and go as a passenger, I want to create a memory that I can proudly tell my grandchildren about, something to brag to my great grandchildren". He grinned.
