Frank de Boer was not satisfied with his side’s debut performance in the Europa League tonight against Be’er Sheva. The Dutchman spoke with Sky Sport and was not shy to express his frustration.
“I’m sorry for the supporters because we didn’t win. But we started well, we played good football in the first half even if we lost too many balls. After their goal we lost our head and it can’t happen, I can’t understand how a team can lose its head after a goal, it happened also in Pescara. But we have qualities, we only have to work. Against Juventus we can do well if we believe in ourselves.
Turnover? It was necessary, we play each 3-4 days and some players were tired, for example Miranda came from Brazil after a long trip. It was also the occasion for some player to demonstrate their value. We have a good team but in the future we’ll have a fixed lineup, but never forget turnover when we play many matches near.
Brozovic? He can do well, he has to get fit. We do not have to change our philosophy, only work to not lose so many balls.”
