00:00 "We have to talk about the result because we have to talk about how the hell this goal

00:04 stands up. It's incredible. I feel embarrassed. But I have to be the one now coming here to

00:11 try to defend the club and please ask for help because it's an absolute disgrace that

00:18 this goal is allowed. It's an absolute disgrace because it's not a goal. For many reasons,

00:23 it's not a goal. For more than one reason at least, it's not a goal. It's too much

00:27 a stake here. We put so much effort. It's so difficult to compete at this level and

00:32 it's an absolute disgrace. Again, I feel embarrassed. I've been more than 20 years in this country

00:37 and this is nowhere near the level to describe this as the best league in the world. I am

00:42 sorry."

00:58 and in Portugal. They are not allowed. That's what happens. I have to stand here now and

01:03 explain. We lost three points today, guys. You know what that means. It's too hard this

01:09 league. It's too hard. It's too much a stake. It's embarrassing."
