Rafa Benitez

So I think it's very difficult to manage this situation when everything is against you.

Trying to protect himself, maybe?

I was surprised that Benitez... I have never seen in Italy Benitez with five defenders, so at the beginning I was really surprised.

Yeah, obviously, from our point of view, at least a draw, because I think that we were pushing them all the way.

We were fighting until the end, and then we had some chances, especially in the second half.

So, again, it's a good team, because you have to say they are a very good team.

I think we did OK to get something.

Yeah, you have to think that if he can do something well, it's the control.

But also the keeper, we have to give credit to him because he was very quick, very fast to close it down.

So I think it's a pity because it's a player that can do these things really well.

But after we hit the post and the crossbar.

So at least we were there, we were fighting and you could feel the fans, they had the belief that we could do something.

It was a pity.

Always for the strikers it's good to score, then when you bring new people, as I say so many times, you increase the competition, so that was the idea.

Also you can see that the new players will need some time to understand the other team-mates and what we want to do, but at least you have the competition, you score a great goal, so that is really good for the rest of the season because they will be pushing each other.

Just try to replicate things that we did last season.

So work together as a team and then have the belief that we could do something, that we could change the game.

And I say we were very close and it was a pity.

At the moment, we don't know.

We have to wait and the doctor has to assess the injury.
