"We must continue working with an excellent attitude and respect the squad. There were some matches which we could’ve won but, in the end, we couldn’t take much advantage of the opportunities in our hands.

The entire team must be compact with pressing, electrifying attacking, etc.," he said during the pre-match press conference that you can watch above.
