00:00 "We have to talk about the result because we have to talk about how the hell this goal
00:04 stands up. It's incredible. I feel embarrassed. But I have to be the one now coming here to
00:11 try to defend the club and please ask for help because it's an absolute disgrace that
00:18 this goal is allowed. It's an absolute disgrace because it's not a goal. For many reasons,
00:23 it's not a goal. For more than one reason at least, it's not a goal. It's too much
00:27 a stake here. We put so much effort. It's so difficult to compete at this level and
00:32 it's an absolute disgrace. Again, I feel embarrassed. I've been more than 20 years in this country
00:37 and this is nowhere near the level to describe this as the best league in the world. I am
00:42 sorry."
00:43 "The question is, it's not a goal. It's simple. It's not a goal. Simple. Because for a goal
00:49 to be allowed, there are certain things prior to that, that the ball hitting one metre from
00:53 the goal that are not allowed in football. Here, in China, in Japan, in Spain, in Italy
00:58 and in Portugal. They are not allowed. That's what happens. I have to stand here now and
01:03 explain. We lost three points today, guys. You know what that means. It's too hard this
01:09 league. It's too hard. It's too much a stake. It's embarrassing."
