That’s what we did in other games. While I was happy with our performance, I must also give the team some criticism for their poor defense.
We have a 3-1 advantage and cannot afford to make any blunders because they matter. Every objective has a backstory.
When there’s a transition, we don’t block the midfield, when there’s a free-kick for the second goal, and when there’s a third goal, we’re organized yet overloaded. That is not possible. We must take that as a lesson.
Ten Hag continued, “I am very pleased because you see the style of this team which is pro-active, dynamic, and brave.” Nevertheless, he did see some positives in the tie.
“We created so many opportunities, so I was happy with the performance, but we still need to win this game.”
