Quotes From the Manager

Right Result

"They deserved to win. Football is not just about quality; it is about effort and commitment, it is about playing to your limits. In an atmosphere like this, to concede an early goal gives the opposition exactly what they want. The opponent can then defend and counter-attack us with a lead and that is our fault for letting them be in that situation. They were playing a Champions League final and we were playing a summer friendly by the way the game started."

Late Response

"After their second goal we reacted and could have got a different result but I didn’t feel we deserved more as over the 90 minutes we didn’t play well enough. We didn’t fully play to our maximum."

Defensive Injuries

"It is difficult to cope, having to play with two left-backs at centre-back. This makes it tough to cope with the physicality of the game. To try and have the ball and create chances we made attacking changes but we could not create chances to score."

Qualification Chances

"We don’t depend on the others, we depend on ourselves. If we win both games we qualify. Even with four points we could qualify, since Feyenoord play Fenerbahce and both sides cannot get maximum points."

Talking points

• Players' mentality vs. manager's fault. Which one is it?

• We do not have a specific play-style nor do we play with purpose.

• Who do you think deserves to start and who should be benched?

• Do you believe Mourinho has a talented player to fill every position of his starting XI. If not, who do you think should be axed?
