I don’t know what the new ideas might be that we’ll need to absorb, but I think we’ve had a tight set for quite some time and I don’t think we’ll see any major changes.».

“We already knew this lesson because it had happened to us before. You should never sit back in a game and relax. We relaxed for 10 minutes and saw what happened. The opponent took advantage of this and we conceded two goals. I think what we have to think about is that we were very good for a large part of the game. We played really well, especially in the first half and that’s how we should always be. We are a strong team, we have abilities and we have to think about that».
