“The emotions are very negative and disappointing,” he said to TNT Sports. “I’m looking at the screen now and I see the way we conceded 1-0, but I have to be positive about the reaction of the players after we went 1-0 down.
“Because I think until half-time we played a very good game. After the early disappointment, we came back into the game.
“I think we had enough chances to go 2-1 up. At half-time I don’t think anyone would have expected us to lose this game 4-1.”

“I mean with that is we just have to face where we are in and fight really hard,” he explained. “It would be nice if we don’t get this knock off a goal we concede.
“It’s not only conceding a goal, it’s also the feeling I have, and I think the players will probably have the same in our fans as well, that after 45 minutes you don’t expect it to be 1-1, you expect to be up and instead of being up five minutes after half-time again.”
