\"We are very sorry\"

Our Technical Director Vicente Del Bosque told in his press conference held after the Konyaspor match that \\"Our team fought well. We had great expectations; but we are very sorry.\\"

The Spanish Technical Director V. Del Bosque told the following in his press conference:
"We are very sorry that we could not pass this elimination stage. We had great expectations. We played well during the first half and even found a few positions. They scored a goal in the closing minutes and made the match even harder for us. Cordoba's dismissal made our position more difficult. In spite of that we found a goal on the 80th minute. Just as we were getting in a better position, the goal Balic scored from long range turned things upside down. I congratulate Baliç for that goal. A scapegoat should not be sought for this defeat. This would not be true. Because the team fought sufficiently well. It was good to play in our own stadium, but without spectators it was the sound of cold winds we heard.
