“We have already achieved something very difficult to achieve, and we can still postpone the title of premier league, because there are still five games to go and a lot can still happen. What we have to do is forget what happened last week, learn from our mistakes and think about the next game, which will be at home, with our fans, under the London Derby, and do the right things. »
