′′ It was a difficult game in which, above all, we could have been better in efficiency in attack. We had chances, but in the last three games we only scored one goal and we have to be more effective. There is room for improvement. It is clear that we have difficulties and we must improve them. For the first time we have a whole week to work on and these aspects have to be improved”, declared the Italian coach, who added: “This has to affect us, because if it doesn’t affect it, it doesn’t get better. It is obvious that it affects us. Just a few days ago we scored five goals at Anfield. It’s impossible to understand.”
