“Frankly, both sides could have deserved a draw in the whole game. We scored quite quickly in the 1st half and despite everything we stayed in the match, created a few chances. We came back very well in the second half, we managed to score twice. After 2 goals, they created one or two dangerous chances, but they didn’t let them. But in the end, I regret that I scored in direct play, which is perhaps the easiest to defend. We need to be more calm there, especially with only 4/5 minutes left and we will be playing against. »

There were also players who needed to breathe because they had just arrived. There were others where he was he had to deal with the game on Tuesday. But with only 5 minutes to go, it’s hard to concede goals like this behind us, where we need to settle down better. »
