"Swallow the poison we feel, hold onto it, and let it build up all week so we can unleash it on Saturday at home with our fans. That's the message,"
"We need to hold onto all the anger we felt today when the game ended, let it fester, and above all, not let it out before then. Let it out when we have to let it out."
"It's about the memory of a goldfish. That's how it is. Forget what happened today, try to improve what we need to improve, build on what we've done well."
"The rest is about playing. When the team plays, they're confident, they create chances, they dominate the opponent. After that, the result, I'm responsible."
