""It was a close game where we also had our chances," Hjulmand said. "We didn't put in our best performance, and we need to improve; we didn't find the right solutions, especially in the first 15 minutes. "We know where we stand. We've also played very well against direct rivals. We are looking ahead and have every opportunity to be more effective.""
""We didn't manage to cause them enough problems," he said. "We didn't make the right decisions at the right moment. That's exactly what we've missed in the two games after the winter break.""
