“I think in the small details, I thought for 44 minutes in the first half we were the better team. And again, I think any mistake that we make, any small detail goes against us and we’re not able to capitalize on the opposition’s mistakes. And probably that affected the team.

“And that’s our job as coaches, to keep helping the players. And as you can see, the players, they care and they are 100% trying their best. But at the moment, it’s not enough. We need to minimise any mistakes because we know that we’re going to concede a goal.

“The players got affected by the rhythm of the game and we couldn’t find that rhythm to create more chances. The first half, the first 44 minutes I thought were good, really good, creating chances, getting into the box. In the second half, probably, we were unable to deal with the weight of the game.”
