We had better spells, better chances in the game, but football comes down to small details, we paid the price for that today.‘I’m not someone who thinks too much about it. I prepare [the same] if I get one penalty or two penalties in a game. I can’t fault my preparation or the details before the game.‘It didn’t feel any different.
