Amsterdam Ajax head coach Francesco Farioli commented on his team's sensational defeat against Latvian RFSh (0:1) in yesterday's match of the 7th round of the main stage of the Europa League.
"It doesn't matter who we lose to - the name of the opponent doesn't matter, when we lose, we are always dissatisfied.
We created enough chances in both halves. We had four or five opportunities where we had to score. In one of those episodes, the opponents cleared the ball off their goal line.
It wasn't easy to break through the RFSh defense on such a pitch. Moreover, there were five players in the opponent's team about two meters tall - this always complicates the situation for the attacking team.
We played quite well, but unfortunately, at the end of the match, we lost the ball, and the opponent took their only chance," said Farioli at the post-match press conference.
It's worth noting that RFSh is the opponent of Dynamo in the final, 8th round of the main stage of the Europa League.
