"From my point of view, the glass is always half full because I think we put in a great performance. The first half was one of the best since I arrived, if not the best. In the second half, we were behind, then at the end we had 15 minutes with an extra player. We wanted to push, but unfortunately we didn't manage to do so. It was an important match between two teams playing in the Champions League. It was a difficult, fair and entertaining match. We already have a lot of certainty in attack: three players who play centre forward. There's also [Chico] Conceicao, who wasn't available, and [Edon] Zhegrova, who plays behind the striker. I have to be good at choosing the right players for the game that suits them best, both from the start and during the match. All three strikers prefer to play centre forward and have to adapt when they play behind. [Juan] Cabal is a lad who has been performing well for some time now. He's a strong player who I already appreciated before, then he suffered this serious injury, but my idea was to give him the same amount of playing time. Then, with Bremer's problem, I decided to send him onto the pitch. I'm really happy for him because he's a lad and a player of the highest calibre. [Vasilije] Adzic deserved to start the match because of his qualities, he is on a path of growth. My choice was dictated by the type of match, with the aim of having an extra midfielder against a physical team that runs a lot and is not easy to play against.”

"I'm happy with the goal because we played well, and we showed everything we do during the week. We're disappointed with the draw but happy with our performance. In these games, those of us who start on the bench have to go in with the right mindset. We always want to win, but we played against a good team. Now we're only thinking about Villarreal and not the match against Milan next weekend. I'm very happy to be back after 10 months, and I'm even happier about this goal and helping the team. The whole club helped me to make a good recovery. During this time, I've grown as a person and as a footballer."
