We’re disappointed with the result.
I think we were a bit naive, especially the way we defended open spaces and the counter-press in a few moments – I think they had three shots, three goals.
In that sense, we’re not happy, but in a lot of things that I saw, very, very happy. Our efficiency in the final third has to improve, that’s for sure, but a lot of the things we do in all departments, I think we are in a good place.
But again, that pain in the belly about losing a game is necessary, and is something positive we can use for Saturday and the start of the season.
