"Marvin was too isolated defensively; it’s not his fault. We need to improve that collectively, offering more support and being closer to apply pressure."
"I understand that the concussion substitution rule won't be misused. I think if something like that happens, it's good to be cautious and have the option for an extra substitution." You always imagine the perfect game where you win the ball and circulate it well... I think for a good part of the game, the team understood exactly what needed to be done."
