“A very painful defeat. I will not hide it, we played terribly. The complete opposite of what we were going to show when we came here. We can only apologize to the fans for this game.
I think even though both teams wanted to play short combinations, the opponent got more out of it and we couldn’t get ahead. We had to play long passes but that’s not our football Poor performance.
I saw the character and desire to fight in this team, but we won few duels today. You can call it whatever you want, but we didn’t win enough of them.
I tried to play 5-4-1. I always take responsibility: it was my choice to use this system, but we changed it at halftime. My view is that no matter what scheme we chose today, we didn’t have enough tackles won or intensity in key moments, and it’s very difficult to win in those conditions.
I need to study the goals in more detail. I will have to watch the whole match tonight – and it will be a tough watch. We were not aggressive enough and did not go forward when we could, the opponent easily passed us,” Frank said.
