“I think our reality is very small,” he said at a press conference. “Fans and journalists are out of their minds, they don’t see what we do.

“If my players relax, it ends badly. It’s a wake-up call, what we saw today must not happen.

“Those who are below us and have better squads must ask, ‘why not us?’.”
