00:00Not the result that we wanted, not the result that we wanted, but at least we still have a chance tomorrow.

00:05But I don't want to think about tomorrow. We will think tomorrow, tomorrow.

00:08Today we do what we can. Everybody is, I don't know, because we play a good world championship

00:15and they are thinking that we can win all the matches now.

00:18We never win against Thailand this year, never. And never last year.

00:22What they are thinking? That we are magical and because we play against Iran and against Egypt very good,

00:32they think that we have to win against Thailand? How many times we win against Thailand? Never.

00:38What we are in the ranking? 80. 80 in the ranking.

00:46So, I am not happy, of course, that we couldn't do better.

00:50And today we start every set in a difficult way.

00:56And after we were close and more close and more close, but it was not enough.

01:00So, the only thing that we can do is play better tomorrow.

01:03But to promise that we have to win, it's not a promise.

01:07We have to play against the opponent, not against ourselves, against the opponents that play very good today.

01:12That's it. We respect them because they play for me the best play they ever played against us.

01:20Coach, do you think the pressure from the fans, thinking that the Philippines is a little bit better?

01:27I am also happy if the fans, they are coming to cheer us and to help us.

01:31But, you know, they can only give us an help. They can give me.

01:37It was not enough what we did today.

01:39And also, with them help, we couldn't do more.

01:44We couldn't do more.

01:46Today, in the World Championship, we had the opportunity to play with six, seven players on the court that everybody played good.

01:53And today, no.

01:54Today, some play good, some not good, some very bad.

01:58And what we, I make a substitution, was not, they were not working.

02:03So, it happened like this.

02:05It happened like this.

02:06It's not because we won 3-0, we are a shit team.

02:09And after, sorry for the words, and before we were a good team.

02:14We are a team.

02:15And sometimes, you lose and sometimes you win.

02:17Also, the better team in the world, sometimes you lose and sometimes you win.

02:20And by the way, I remember, we never won against Thailand.

02:26And I don't want to remember when Philippines won the SEA Games against them.

02:30It's for me.

02:31I was not here.

02:33In two years, we never won against Thailand.

02:36Only one match in Manila.

02:41And was the start of the season.

02:43I think, siguro, no.

02:48Philippians, I don't know what the errors are.

02:50Ah, siguro, wala lang yung eagerness namin manalo for this game.

02:57Ah, ayun.

02:58Ah, speechless ako eh.

03:01Kasi, hindi to yung in-expect namin na resolve for this game.

03:04Talagang, before the game, pinag-usapan namin na kailangan nilaban namin.

03:09But, ayun na.

03:10Siguro, talagang hindi para sa amin tong game naman.

03:13Paano mo nasabi yun na parang walang eagerness?

03:15What were you seeing it for?

03:17Ah, alam mo yun.

03:19Ayun, parang wala yung fire sa amin e.

03:21Parang, every point, parang pilit yung celebration namin.

03:26Talagang, akala mo, ah, talagang, alam mo yun?

03:31Ah, parang wala yung, wala kami sa, wala kami sa loob ng court.

03:37Parang, ah, ano e.

03:42Talagang, talagang kulang, kulang yung kumpiyansa namin sa loob ng court.

03:46Ryan, sila din yung nakalaban natin yung 2019 bago kayo makapasok sa mining match.

03:51Ano yung kakaibahan ng game na daw compared sa game at the debate?

03:56Ah, ayun. Ah, sa tingin ko, sobrang ano nila. Ah, yung communication nila sa isa at isa, ang ganda ngayon.

04:03Talagang, masasabi mo na, ah, bawat yung mga small mistake na ano talaga nila e, ah, naminimimize nila.

04:12So, ayun, sobrang, ah, sobrang laking bagay ng, ano, ah, yung mga breakpoint na ako-convert nila sa point.

04:23Ayun, ah, siyempre, di pa naman tapos yung laban. Ah, may chance pa rin kami makamedal.

04:40Kailangan lang namin mag, ano, ah, pagtrabahohan pa.

04:44Saka, yun, ah, kailangan namin magprepare na mayos.

04:53Saka, yun, ah, kailangan namin magprepare na mayos.
