A little bit disappointed, of course, with the result.
Disappointed in the first half.
We lost a little bit of balance in a couple of areas in the system.
We suffered a little bit without the ball.
They had the control, far of the goal, but they had the control.
but I'm really happy with the performance in the second half.
In the second half, we made a very high pressure, we recovered the ball very high, we created attempts, we had the opportunity to draw, finally, first football, we had to accept the result, but I think the team came back to a good performance.
The start was very difficult because when we tried to counter-attack in the first passes we lost the ball again really easy.
So when you are defending together, conceding space for the defenders, they play the ball.
When we play the ball in the areas we want to recuperate the ball, they obviously occupy as quick as possible the space in the back of the defensive line.
If we lose the ball, we need to recuperate against the spaces, we need to defend it again.
I spent a lot of energy defending and I didn't like it.
But in the second half, it was completely different.
We had the control and finally we deserved it.
At least we scored one goal.
I think football was a little bit cruel with us in the last matches.
Southampton against City, against Southampton, including today, I think we didn't deserve to lose.
But it's football, everything could happen, so we need to accept the result and try to improve for the next match.
We are working the same way, but we are working always and playing against amazing teams, with amazing players, with very good players.
For us, it's always very difficult, every single win is very difficult for us.
