What people are saying
It is a difficulty that we ourselves have created, right? And then, only we can address it through our work… It is the second game in which we have conceded easy goals, which is not what we practice. We work very well on our defensive line and our positioning. So I think it is up to us to correct this together with the coach. Work so we can get out of this situation as soon as possible.
