We are aware of the difficulties.
– Lunin will play if I don’t change my mind today. Yes, Lunin will play. The plan for a player returning from such a serious injury does not change depending on the situation. Thibaut played because he felt very good and now he will have to take some time to recover. The plan changed because of the meeting. He played a great game, but he has to give his all.
– Motivation? It’s simply worth experiencing. With all the emotions in the world. This is a great motivation. Before the match there is anxiety, a bit of fear. The preparation for the semi-final is spectacular. It gives a lot of motivation.
