Coach’s analysis: “We did everything: the good and the bad. Of course, it wasn’t the result we wanted, but the truth is we tried everything to get back into the game. But we made a lot of mistakes. We have to turn the page and move forward to Sunday’s match.”

Performance in the League Cup: “I don’t know, I wasn’t here before, but today we tried everything to win, but it wasn’t enough. It is what it is. We want to turn the page and move forward, even if we regret some things, some dynamics that honestly leave me speechless, but we move on.”

Changes in the second half: “Yes, we tried everything, but it wasn’t enough, it’s part of the game. We had our chances, our good moments at the start of the second half, with Samu. But it is what it is. The fans have already given us the push to change things, before and after the match.”

Consequences of the defeat: “We lost two games and in both matches we had two penalties against us. I want to highlight how the fans pushed us during and after the game, they have already given us the answer to everything. We have to prove that we will have the right reaction, there is no doubt about that.”

Gabri Veiga’s condition: “I asked him twice how he was, he said he felt fine, but after cooling down at halftime, he couldn’t return. That’s not good. Right now we are paying a very high price because of these contacts. You saw the news about Lukk [Jong]. But that’s football. In these things there’s nothing you can do, football is a contact sport and sometimes there are injuries. It’s an opportunity for others to step up, to have the chance and prove that everyone is ready to play for this great club on this journey.”
