He said: “I think we deserved to win. In the first half, we suffered from their intense pressure, but we created scoring opportunities. We had similar chances near the penalty area with many shots. I think we deserved at least one point when looking at the match.”
He added: “If we look at our recent matches, the situation is always like this – we do something to help the opponent gain an advantage. Then it becomes difficult for us to score goals, but the players performed excellently to earn at least one point.”
He emphasized: “We have the ability to pressure our opponents. There are small things I think we can improve. We need to understand these moments better, but if we look at the twenty minutes [after Ivanilson’s red card], we had chances to score, which is crucial.”
Regarding Rasmus Hojlund: “I wouldn’t say he’s comfortable, but he might be less active during the week. He now needs to score more goals.”
On Luke Shaw’s first start in the league since last year: “It’s very important. Of course, we have to be cautious about his fitness. [After the red card], he was the player who doubled the pressure on the team. He has quality in the final third of the pitch, and his passes are good.”
On boosting morale before the first leg of the Europa League semi-final on Thursday: “We lost two points. We didn’t win, but it doesn’t matter – it’s a different competition.”
