After the goal we conceded first one, we lost a bit of the control of the game. We are playing every two days, and we probably look like we struggle a bit. We just want to win as soon as possible. We tried to be aggressive. When we conceded 1-1, probably the dynamic of the game changed a bit. I am always worried. Two points in four games is not what we expect, and we have to do better.
