“Our schedule is tough but I focus on one match at a time. We can still do better. If we want to do well against the top sides, we have to improve a little bit more. We create many opportunities but we don’t always make them count. We must improve in finishing.

We must continue playing as we are and keep up the enthusiasm. We must be aware of our limits but not be afraid. We have to bring this team back to where it has been for so many years.”
