“We started very well; I think we played very well in the first 30 minutes. The game was under control, then took the lead but they increased the level of intensity or aggressiveness in the defensive phase.

“They pushed and levelled matters at the end of the first half. I think the second half we started well again.

“Dominating but the last 20 minutes we couldn’t find control the way we wanted and were very exposed.

“But we did a fantastic job, very good performance [in a run] of many games in high intensity and it’s normal that within the 90 minutes that we will play a bit bad.

“We appreciate the victory, six in a row if I’m not mistaken. All the credit to the players, staff.

“We are working a lot. The players, the staff, and it’s nice to continue collecting wins

“We have to understand what we do is being part of a show. We’re playing for the fans, ourselves, our families but especially for them and it’s special to know they will have a good day, night and hopefully a good week.” He concluded.
