“It’s a process for them to understand the game model. It’s a process for them to understand results like this. It’s a process for them whenever they are missing chances do they stay calm? Do they stay confident to say ‘The next chance I’m going to get I’ll be able to score.”

“When you start worrying about losing the game, it means the confidence goes away,” he added.
“So, what is important is for us to build them and for us to have the confidence and the belief to say, the next game we go for it.
“You don’t prepare for a loss in any way, anytime you prepare, you prepare to win.”
“I would say bad results when you look at the plan going into this game. We were fully aware that a win would give us two wins in a row and we were looking forward to playing well and winning this game.

“Even after conceding that goal, we piled pressure on the opponents looking for that equaliser and hopefully looking for a winning goal. Decision making let us down, the opportunities we created, and the setplays we had. We became more emotional and as a result we couldn’t get that important goal.”
