« I couldn’t lead the club and the players I feel so responsible We have to accept the reality, we weren’t good enough
« We didn’t play badly, but at the same time we made mistakes and we can’t do that in this competition and pass
« The reality is that every player and manager, not just here, must dream with high expectations We must accept it with humility

« When we do this it’s the best way to improve This competition is so demanding and the mistakes we make, I feel so bad for the players We are going to start again tomorrow from zero
« I have the feeling that we are close Every season when I analyze when we go out, I have the feeling that we are close
« At the same time, we make mistakes that make you feel like we don’t deserve to suffer I don’t think it’s mental It’s all about desire and avoiding mistakes
« Of course if you are used to being in the later stages maybe it would be easier. Being here 10 times is good for us, but I know the reality of this club
« The next step is to make the semi-finals. The things we did are a thing of the past and now it’s a new opportunity
« In this competition in some departments we have to be better The players know, five minutes after the game they know We have the same challenge, a new opportunity Tomorrow is the first step of many to go really far in this competition «
