00:00We are ahead of our expectations in terms of the way we are playing and in terms of points.

00:10When you win games the fans are happy and when you don't win games the fans are upset.

00:15I think in this moment they are completely right to be upset.

00:30Especially as you said for the way, probably the goal that we conceded at the end is a bad feeling.

00:54We expected this kind of moment during the season because we know that this kind of moment belongs to the team.

01:06We don't like to lose games, we don't like to drop points but it's not going to affect our journey.

01:14Two weeks ago, three weeks ago we were talking about the title race.

01:18For me it's not about the table, it's just about to see how we can improve things.

01:24The feeling is a little bit of shame because when you play in the way you played in the first half,

01:33which I think was really really good, you have to be clinical.

01:37In my opinion we are a better team than one month ago, two months ago.

01:41Because this kind of moment, this kind of games, for sure they are going to make us better and better.

01:46Because we need to live this experience.

01:55You don't finish in the top four, has the season domestically been a success or a failure?

02:02We'll see how we finish and then we'll see.

02:05Which one will it be?

02:06No yeah, we'll see how we finish. Now it's not the good thing about me.

02:11I'm not saying to you something today different than one month ago.

02:15And now it's a bad run, we need to deal with that, we need to embrace that.

02:20And for sure after this moment they are going to be better players and better professionals.
