We have to go through this as one, not only us as players but also the staff and our fans who celebrated being champions, which is something we shouldn't forget."It was a quite open game, of course, in the second half especially. But we have to work to get there first."The seven, eight days have been tough for all of us but we are the ones, together with the staff and the fans, who can turn this around.

Now we have a little bit of a tough moment, which can change pretty quickly, but we have to work for it."That is something we realise and we need to do it all together, as we always have been doing over these years, especially when I've been here at the club because there have been some ups and downs."That is the only way out of it. Obviously we were all gutted that he left in the summer, but that is not the issue."How we work, it happened all season last year, and everything was positive and everyone was happy, and now we have a little blip, if you want to call it like that, and now we need everyone more than ever to support us and be there for us."It is not that easy [to sum up the problems].

It's not for everyone to just accept it and move on, but the only thing we can do is focus on the next opportunity we have and work on it."Obviously now everyone goes to different countries and everyone has the responsibility to try and stay fit and do well."But when we come back, we have a very big game against Manchester United where I am already very much looking forward to it.
