"From my point of view, we improved in the possessional attack. Our problem is in transitions. First, It's necessary to be confident in attacking play and make risky passes. And then it's about good transitional play. I am so happy because it's a challenging moment for us. And then, in the last three weeks, there has been a change in methodology. It's not easy, but the players are working hard and trying their best," Ferrando stated during the pre-match presser. You can watch it entirely above.
