KALVENES IN PRESS CONFERENCE
The boys got in a circle after the first and second goals: what did you say to each other?
“I can’t say, I don’t know. In the interval always try to have a constructive interview, we were treated ‘badly’ in the first half and face fear that the players would break down. Obviously we talked about the match, the game he played with us. surprise Roma, some areas of the field opened up like in the second goal. They entered, an incredible goal slipped into our defense “.
How did you see the Roma bench after the first leg?
“I didn’t look to the right, but surely there was nothing to see. I didn’t see anything, it was tough in these 90 minutes. They had less stress from the bench.”
What did you learn after today’s game?
“The pressure of the first few minutes was no different from the Olimpico match in the groups, but there we solved it. There were 11 players of the highest level, they were very excited tonight. We were not used to both the pace and intensity at which we were exposed, Rome was too strong today. “
Was there too much pressure on you?
“What brought us here is that we have grown very well during the competition, perhaps we have been a little naive. Civamo is the best version of Roma in the four games to come.”
Were you prepared for Zaniolo and Mkhitaryan?
“We started from the first leg match, then there can be some surprises and today they made some adjustments. When we can’t even think. When you can’t go on, it’s not good, but we had fantastic games and experience, we played a lot. In any case, I am proud of the team and the club, of the fans who arrived here. Beautiful experience. Today, however, we weren’t very good from the beginning. We were imprecise, Roma pressed us hard and we got lost a bit. they played better. “
What do you bring with you from this experience?
“We will talk about what we have done, about the opponents who have also strengthened our self-esteem but today we have no problem recognizing that we finished second in everything. We must learn for the future and be grateful to have played a quarter-final in Rome. . What happened cost us more than what we wanted, but as a group we were good at focusing on that we did well. They were from the start and they deserved to win. “
Differences between Europe and the league.
“In Europe I play the fastest, now we have to be more intense, we have to see the performances and where we can improve. We were lucky to have played in Europe, we have to be proud.”
Fans were treated as boys, children were crying in terror, lighters and other objects were thrown at them.
“A great shame, it doesn’t have to be like that. We were happy to have brought them here but it doesn’t have to be like that.”
Nuno Santos was in the locker room, participated in the warm-up while Knutsen had to stand in the stands.
“I’m not the one who will speak on behalf of the club, I only answer on the match. None of us have a comment on that.”
He seemed not to want to take the field.
Not so dare an explanation. Perhaps we have not had our strength today.
Did Knutsen’s absence affect you?
It doesn’t mean anything, we are focused on the game. It wasn’t a thing in our hands, we tried not to think about it. I don’t think you made a big difference anyway.
Have you talked to the Roma bench?
No, I thanked the referees.
