"We performed well in the first half but it wasn't enough. They scored with their first chance in the second half, but that's football. It's important to be clinical, especially in a knockout match. I've got nothing to say to the guys, but we're doing all we can with what we have available. We're conceding too many goals at the moment and we're not as sharp up front. We have fewer players to pick from. I had to throw on Ibarbo who hadn't been in action for six weeks and had only trained once with us. Victor coming on tonight though was a positive. Now we'll get back down to work and we still have Serie A and the Europa League. We'll focus on these two competitions.
"We have a number of issues with the team at the moment and it's only human to feel a little insecure. That's why the guys are less daring. We need to get a result at Cagliari to get luck back on our side. The players missing at the moment will come back we hope and we'll be stronger because of it. We need to be more solid at the back and more clinical going forward.
"I want to stress the fact that the Curva Sud cheered us on throughout the game. That's great and we need our supporters at this moment in time. They're disappointed as are we. Rest assured we'll get down to work and do our all, and more, to return to winning ways.
There are a lot of issues I wasn't expecting at this time, in terms of injuries. The guys were organized and perhaps we needed a little bit more luck tonight. I always say you see the strength of a club when the going gets tough, not during the good times. I'm not worried about that. We'll all fight, me first and foremost, to win our next game."
通篇提了几遍luck这个词,大意:上半场表现很好,佛罗伦萨抓住了在下半场的第一次机会,而我们却错过了很多机会。我们伤病太多,很不走运,希望伤员快点恢复,我们还有两项冠军可以争取。
