"And we can't be happy, neither with the result nor with the performance; we shouldn't have given Venezia a chance to get back into the game. It's time to stay united and together, because together we can change things.
"When we take the lead we must not sit back, but instead try to put the result beyond doubt and maintain the level of confidence to do just that.”
