I'm not sure you can call it purely "incidental" Maranello. With all that had happened in the lead up to the match, it would be hard not to give Younis any credit at all for the way we performed as team collectively. If you just looked at the body language of the players, there was very little to suggest this was a team that had gone through all we had gone through, I think a lot of that positivity was a direct by-product of the way Younis leads the team, and the kind of a person he is naturally. It would be very harsh, as I said, to not give him any credit at all.
