— It was a misstep in our journey. That’s normal sometimes, but it needs the right and quick corrections so that we don’t drift too far off course, which is what we tried to do internally, in training and in our conversations, and we managed to show that on the pitch — he said, before concluding:

— As I said, it was a misstep that we hope doesn’t happen again, or at least happens as far apart as possible, so that we can have calmness, consistency in our performances and, that way, earn as many points as possible — concluded Danilo.
