Do you have that sort of sense with the team in the moment that just one goal is not going to be enough?
“Yeah, well, I always have the feeling. I think everyone has the feeling that we need to score more goals and that is sure. Even with Brighton, we were three-nil, and then suddenly… So, we suffer with that. We are inconsistent. We need to improve.”
When you talk about second balls and duels and losing out in those, that’s obviously not a tactical thing. Is it a desire thing? Is it a lack of energy?
“It’s second balls. Sometimes it’s tactical things. We try to adjust with the players that we put [in], and then we control. In the final minutes, we had the possession, the ball was far from the opponent, it was not a clear full press from the opponent. We cannot let a team that is so much taller than us to have a corner when the ball is with the goalkeeper. So, these kind of details makes the difference. And today, a corner in the second half made the difference.”
You’re saying you’re frustrated and angry, I’m guessing your players are as well because they don’t want to concede like that. Is it your style to go into the changing room after this kind of a goal being conceded or do you leave it to the next day?
“No, in that regard, I’m almost always consistent. I had one, and you know, Brighton last year. So, I will talk to them tomorrow.”
