“After the third goal, we did not continue what we had to do in terms of defensive and a little more patience. When we play this way, they can run and that’s what they want. »»
“It happened all season, like with many, a lot, too much. We talked. We know that it cannot happen. But we reacted very well and we played with the personality. We defended so well and with the ball, we were a fairly good threat but unfortunately after the second time. We had momentum but then the deviation. »»
“Certainly but you have to work. You cannot lose control. It is 90, 95 minutes. You cannot finish in the way we play. We could have scored three more. No matter what’s going on. In the first situation, you lose what you have to do. It’s so difficult.
