"I'm disappointed for the players because they gave everything, a big heart, big soul and with big quality but this is football and we have to accept the result.

"It's important always to play with courage and pride.

"We have our style, we know what the risks are and Tottenham are a good team, they pressed our midfield and centre backs.

"We had chances but if we don't score it can always go the other way."
