"We started with [Ian] Maatsen and Kosta [Nedeljkovic]. We started with [Boubacar] Kamara, with John McGinn, Leon Bailey, Jaden Philogene, Jhon Duran, [Emiliano] Buendia, I don't know if I can have some regret.

"We are with our way, building the team, building the structure. Today we competed, but we lost.
