We tend to play With the centre-backs in the middle of the field, we must have a cool head. This is a hard moment for everyone, for the board, for us, our families, but one always has to think that life gives us setbacks and this is a setback. to see how we react, I hope we get through this quickly and we can fight to get into the eight, there are still points and we are going to get out of this.”

This has happened to us many times, but we have to keep a cool head and get out of this moment because it is a hard moment,” he noted.
