I was a second-year coach, and I made mistakes. We did come up short. Maybe we weren't that hungry, and it was my responsibility to make them hungry. I learned some important lessons, but I can't look back.

We start with an empty book again, with the white pages, and every one of these players will write their own story this year.Peter Nowak
Everyone is getting better, including Ben, ... We have different options. There are a lot of guys who can step up on the field and make a difference. We didn't make a decision yet. I think everyone is ready. This is the most important thing -- to keep the group ready. Whoever will play, whoever will start, they have a responsibility to do the job. Everyone understands how important this game is.

It's not about the tactics. It's not about the substitutions. It's about the heart, and always was. If you go into the game thinking maybe that everything's going to be easy because we play at home, then you're wrong.

We didn't create much in the first half because we didn't play forward and Freddy stayed too much as a second playmaker, ... We need him to be up top so he can use his speed and ability to go at people.

We know when we signed Facundo here he was going to be a great defender. We had to play him in the first couple of weeks at a different position, as a sweeper. We had to insist on him communicating. That's why he played a couple of games as a marker. Right now, he goes back to his natural position. I think he did very well today in communicating with the guys in the front and the back.

If you're going into the game saying 'Ah, I have a talent, I have the potential,' then ... show me. That's what I expect from single player. If they're not going to do it, they will not be successful. I'm not the priest here to satisfy everyone. Now we'll go my way - even if it's sometimes wrong.
