The thoughts of Darmian, Mkhitaryan and Asllani

“We tried to do what the Coach asked of us, right from the start, we didn't risk anything before their goal. Recovering is never easy and we tried to make the ball move more quickly in the second half, creating some chances, but without scoring. We know that we need to work: we'll think about the next match from tomorrow. The coach has tried to get us to understand what he wants, the ideas aren't too different and it's normal to not be so sharp at the end of the season: we'll try to do better. Compared to the first half, we conceded more set pieces, we have to work on this because it's an important aspect. We know we'll need everyone next season: Luis Henrique is an important player, he's already been showing it in the early training sessions and he'll give us a big hand. I am always ready whenever I'm needed, I always try to give my all. It's not important where I play or for however long, it's important to be there as an example for everyone. We knew that the match would be difficult today, like the next games: the conditions are the same for everyone and there can't be any excuses, we have to win if we want to advance. When you take to the field, tiredness is the last thing you feel, you always try to give your all and improve every training session. Is playing here like playing away? I think our fans have always followed and supported us at all times, we'll try to go the distance for them, we know how passionately they follow us. We know the responsibility that we have, wearing this jersey. We have to show it every time we take to the pitch. ”

“I think we could've won today, we didn't manage to score the second goal but we had some chances. We weren't concentrated when it came to the corner, but we reacted very well by scoring the equaliser. We'll think about the next matches, we have to improve: we have a new coach who is asking us to do new things, but we'll do our best to win. We've had a difficult and long season, this was match number 60 and different players have been on international duty. It's not easy but we'll do our best to win the next two matches. ”

“There were lots of positives to take from today, but we conceded from a set piece. We have to improve, the result didn't come but we'll think about the next match. There's not much difference compared to before, we're playing in the same formation, but he wants us to press more. We only had one day to practice set pieces, but we still need to work on them to improve and not concede. We're feeling good, but there might be a bit of mental tiredness, but this should influence us. There's a few people who have been on international duty, but we have to work hard because we want to advance. We've already played with two in midfield, it's a possibility, but our mentality doesn't change. The first half today was difficult because of the heat, we must adapt to what the coach wants from us and playing man to man, but it'll get better as time goes on. ”
