“In some moments, some percentages were not there.
“It will always be a difficult game to play here, but so that we play as we also said why we won the League, but that also tells me if you have a small drop in the last third, you can concede or not mark.
“A wise man told me one day” nothing good comes from the loss of a football match “and that’s how we do it.”

Slot supports marginal players

“For us, keeping them is a great thing. I have already said that I am satisfied with the team we have. We will see what summer brings, but sometimes it can be good to bring fresh energy. [But] Only if we see someone on the market that can improve us. »»
