You may have misinterpreted because my English was a little unclear. I am trying to say, "victory seemed impossible, but in fact it was possible". You may have thought I meant "victory seemed impossible, and as I thought, it was impossible".

Oh I see, the sentence did indeed sound a bit dubious haha
I'll correct my translation right away

I think the English was changed and now this isn't a good translation of it anymore..

Klopt. Maar van de Nederlandse zin zijn er al een aantal vertalingen gemaakt. Dus lijkt het me beter de Nederlandse en de Engelse los te koppelen van elkaar.
