Simon Suarez on Twitter – “All in all, the performance was impressive. I’m not quite sure how to interpret it, but I was impressed with the overall performance too. Our midfield players were outstanding in the first half. We won the midfield battle that we did quite well to hold the ball up well and build the tempo.”
