“I Am Not Disappointed”

“I am not disappointed because the team has given everything they have. It was very difficult conditions of course. The difference in being used to play on this pitch was obvious. But the team spirit was there.

The fighting spirit till the end was there trying to win the match. I don’t think that any team will come here and have an easy day. So in that sense I think I am not disappointed actually. I am happy with the spirit we have shown.

Then we will play better in the other matches maybe and hopefully. I think the second half was better. We had more patience, we played the ball around. In the first half you saw what happened. They were very reactive and they scored of course; a goal which changed a bit everything.

But the week was really positive, the professionalism of the players, their commitment, the determination and the will to start understanding what they want. We have only worked together for two days with the whole team. A lot of players played even on Monday...
