These are his words to TycSportswho initially focus on the pitch side: “We spent these hours well. Obviously at the end of the match we felt bad about the whole situation we had to face. But in any case, our heads are turned to tomorrow, we will try to play a good match and get the most, to collect the three points, which would give us the opportunity to continue in the fight to get through the group”.
