"We played with a great mentality. It is the way we have to be. Against Cádiz we lacked that. We have to continue like this, because we are a young team, which has quality and mentality.
"Today we demonstrated that on the pitch; we played 120 minutes against a great team, with great players and a great coach. We lost, but we have to continue like this."
