“If you see the 90 minutes, the effort that the players, the team …
“I don’t really know, of course, that one will be the boss again but the amount of possibilities … Well, if it has to be it’s my fault, I’ll take it.
“But I think the mentality of the players was very good, they really were fighting the full 98 minutes.
“There were chances of making it 1-0, 2-0, 3-0 and of course, that’s a bit … I don’t know how, at the end of the day, through the center [Samir Nurkovic missing a sitter], that’s of course something we have to face, not really acceptable.
“But we have to do it, two games to go, of course, we have to wait for something to come out of the games, already starting to see what is happening at 6 o’clock, what will happen in the next two games.
“Personally I hope we can put the players in the right mindset for the next game, in particular Chippa. [United] in the second we will try again, we will come back with everything, we will try to score, we will try to win this game, now it’s up to Sundowns. “

“Nurkovic had a great chance at the end there, they should make it 1-0, but it’s a story from our season that we’re not scoring and if you score then you’re making it easy for yourself, which we didn’t do.
“It changed us a bit today, we got the ball in the end, but I mean, you know we could have been 1-0 down, but we could have been one or two. [up] in the first half, that has been a story of our season. Maybe it’s a little late but whatever it is, it is what it is I’m happy for the boy [ Eva Nga].
