Nobody likes losing, doesn’t matter what match we play and in which period of the season it happens. But in the pre-championship period it is absolutely necessary to take seriously also the losses, yesterday we lost the mini-match against Inter playing Tim prize match, and then, after the 45 minutes against Milan, ended in tie, we lost at penalty shots. In this phase the result doesn’t really count much, especially in the tournament like this one. What is really important is to keep on working on improvement and preserving things that proved to be useful: in the long run, this kind of matches serve exactly this purpose, both on the personal and team level.
As for the team level, however, we are already focused on our main engagement of the moment, the match against Sturm Graz, that is worth the access to the main table of Europa League. This is the most important target we set for ourselves and we just can’t lose there. That’s the spirit of the team working hard in the view of coming transfer to Austria on Thursday, where one of the two challenges, that open the doors to Europe will take place.
