“We lost, but fought very well and reacted well after the goal – they were scored, leveled and defended themselves very well, competed on an equal footing. We didn’t allow much. Of course, in the second half, they dominated, pressed, had several angular ones, but we defended very well.
We also had a chance – in particular, Marcus Rushford to score a second ball. And in the last minutes, I tried to release a few players to replace the effect and help win the match. But they did the same – and won.
In general, we can be proud of everything we do. And our fans-they were with us today, because they also understand how important it is for us to play in the Premier League and get into the European Cups again.
“A little upset, but I quickly switch – and now we will focus on a Saturday match. We have a very fascinating moment in London on Saturday – along with our fans, in the semifinals of the Cup against Crystal Pelas, and we have to enjoy it.
We lost – we have to accept it. Of course, we tried, and I was very pleased with how we competed, but it was not enough, even one point was not enough for us.
But now you need to switch, try to take the maximum of useful from this match, use positive things – and with the most positive mood to prepare for Saturday to continue our path in the Cup of England. ”
