And defending wise, our both left and right full backs had nobody to mark and that might
That rotation was really difficult to control the game in the centre of the pitch, but I think our game plan in the first half to give the ball to Otamendi and later on to Kompany was a good decision, right-footed on the left side, and we had really a good defensive shape and we made it really difficult.
And you know by several moments also in the first half you need to be lucky if they don't score, but because they have that quality players then they can score always, every moment in the game.
Yeah, we know.
It's a tough week.
But I think this point tonight gives a boost for this Thursday.
We will do everything to reach the group stage of the Europa League.
And we know only two days later on and we need to travel back.
Chelsea is waiting, but OK, it's a nice challenge.
And I don't criticise that we need to play on Monday and Thursday and Sunday 1.30.
You know the Premier League and we have to accept it and prepare the game for Thursday.
I hope not.
What else do you need?
No, OK, we are looking for a left-footed centre defender, maybe the backup for Leighton.
With the injury of Funes Mori, we don't have any left-footed on that side behind as a backup of Leighton.
That's an option and also a striker, because I think even with the talent of Dominic and Ramirez, look to other squads.
They have that number of players that if we need to make the next step, if we like to make the next step, we need a striker in as well.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
