I think in the end the legs were a bit heavy, but we maintained because we wanted to win so much.[LNB]"You always want your team to take every chance but you also know that is not always possible. But I am encouraged by the way we dominated the game - that is something outstanding at that level.[LNB]"It is of course frustrating when you don't take complete advantage of it [dominating] but it is very positive."[LNB]
