"Tactically, technically and organisationally we came up short.  "We made the same mistakes as in the friendly games. For the first we did not follow our man. "This is a big disappointment, because the first match is very important. We could have done a great thing after the draw in the other match. "The next two games we should be winning. We have to play better."</blockquote>
