“Our midfield was a problem in the first half, we played a bit better in the second half but we lacked luck to score.
” Yes, we couldn’t score and that is a huge problem for us. As I told you earlier, that’s how football is sometimes, you shoot and everything goes in and times too you shoot a hundred and gets nothing out of it”.
