"Our team is just going up from here. We haven't hit our peak yet. Obviously, there are still things that we can work on as individuals, but I think the team environment is definitely there. I couldn't be more proud of each and every single athlete that went up today and stepped in as well."
I was pretty meh on the pool play format given two teams of five advancing in each pool, which felt like it was going to water down the proceedings a bit... but I ended up really enjoying the days of wall-to-wall pool play.
It was an incredible atmosphere and we had really missed this feeling. The players and staff are great people, they help me every day, and I wanted to dedicate the goal to them as a well as the fans
Very well, very well, very happy and grateful. I want to say that we are going to live the best years of our lives over the next five years with a great team that will continue to win. That is the main objective. And then to have a stadium with 105,000 people in the stands. That will be a joy to see and is a guarantee of our club's future.
No. These things happen. Now is a good time for them [Lewy and Torres] to improve. From what I've seen in training, we're on the right track. We have played four games in the last 11 days and the options to make changes are limited. In addition, some players returned from injury. We need a little more time.
The rigid gameplan that was supposed to evolve to suit the players available has been increasingly rumbled and results have spiralled downwards. As their hosts France prepare to try to clinch back-to-back Six Nations titles for the first time since 2007, England will do well to avoid finishing in the bottom two.
I already said after the 4-0 against Atlético that we would learn from our mistakes, we are a young squad and we have understood that. We're approaching it with great enthusiasm, knowing there will be a second leg, but we're sure they'll come out with everything.
Tough break on the first goal. I thought that kind of took a little bit out of us and put us on our heels a little. They capitalized on a couple more and got a power-play goal. We had some good looks and didn't put it in the net. I felt like we were a little bit... not tentative after they scored their first goal, but we didn't stay with what we were doing.
I really appreciate them for what I see. I wasn't nervous today. I saw them after it the 3-0 and I had confidence in them. That's what we're aiming for: this great atmosphere and focusing on daily training.
We'd like to give them a bump, because they've earned that. But it's an eye towards this year, but moving forward as well. The 2025-26 Bruins have exceeded plenty of expectations during Marco Sturm's first year as an NHL head coach - cultivating a hard-nosed, punishing identity that has been readily embraced by a fanbase looking to flush away the misery of last season's implosion.
Two consecutive league defeats at a club like Real Madrid, defeat is always difficult to deal with. But right now, the only thing we're thinking about is tomorrow's match. We know the level we need to reach if we want to win. It will depend on our performance, our composure and confidence. The past doesn't exist.
The pace at which we're all working today doesn't naturally lend itself to being reflective. As a leader, you don't get enough quiet time. The thought leaders and business leaders I work with figure out how to make it part of their routine. For some, it's during a commute, a workout, a shower, or a walk. For others, it's a more involved practice where they shut down their devices and spend scheduled time reflecting.
