βWhen my team play the way three games – we cannot forget which team we played. Liverpool one of the best three teams in the world – you played with courage and personality like we have done – we played here at a good level.
βToday, we didnβt lose but the draw is good, we just need to continue. I pray the players come back from international break safe.”
