“It’s football. We need to work on being better in such situations. I know that I’m happy with the performance of the new players. I hope Jordan doesn’t have a big injury. We think about the next game."

“Of course, a loss in the last few minutes is very tough. The guys were even crying in the dressing room, so it’s sad."

"We need to analyse, go forward and understand what went wrong. It’s important to believe in our job and in our players,” he asserted.
