PEP 💬 You can be set back and counter attack or you can be direct. Our process is to pass the ball from defence through midfield to the wingers. In that process you move all together. It was difficult, the opponent was good.
PEP 💬 Today we didn't have the freshness in our mind. I wouldn’t say in our legs, in our mind. It is a pity. They had four or five chances and didn’t shoot much. We were there and could not be more clinical in the final third.
PEP 💬 We didn’t win because the balls forward were not good. They had four or five in the box, they were there. That is not the reason. It is because we didn’t do our process with the back four and Ferna. Those five players have to bring the ball forward for the others.
