And that is our job as coaches, to maintain serving to the gamers. And as you possibly can see, the gamers, they care and they’re 100% making an attempt their finest. However for the time being, it is not sufficient.

We have to minimise any errors as a result of we all know that we’ll concede a objective.

With the double change at half-time, was Micky van de Ven injured?

No, it was a sub with the intention to present extra dynamic within the left facet and have extra legs going ahead. And yeah, I believed that was like a tactical sub.

How do you flip this round, this stadium isn’t a fortress for the crew in any respect?

You stated the primary half was good however the second not so good, what was the distinction?

The gamers acquired affected by the rhythm of the sport and we could not discover that rhythm to create extra probabilities. The primary half, the primary 44 minutes I believed had been good, actually good, creating probabilities, stepping into the field. Within the second half, in all probability, we had been unable to cope with the burden of the sport.

How is Mathys Tel as he appeared injured?
