[LNB]He said: "I haven't seen myself yet but it was a very, very important goal at a crucial time.[LNB]"There was relief. You cannot say you will score in the last minute but we always play to the end.[LNB]"We have the winning mentality. It is better not to say things but to do things and the players always believe they can score in the last minute.[LNB]"Today I was really pleased. We have a lot of confidence, but as a manager you have to be calm."[LNB]
