Mihajlovic’s post-match comments

Coach Mihajlovic had the following words to say after his side were eliminated from the cup: “We all made a bad show of ourselves and we must apologise to the fans and to the club. With all due respect to Ternana, this just cannot happen. You can lose a game, but not in this manner, and everyone is disappointed. Unfortunately, we cannot go back, we’re out of the cup already and this must be a wake-up call for us because we need to be more attentive and concentrated. It’s hard to explain, we’ll work a lot on the defensive side of things but it’s a matter of attention. Five goals conceded far too easily. It’s true that we were missing five full backs today but I won’t pin the result on this, then we also had to bring off Mbaye who broke his finger: The fact remains that from a technical point of view we were still superior and so losing should not be possible”.
