WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told <a href="https://app.433football.com/share/virals/61739" target="_blank">Fabrizio Romano</a>: “Throughout the year, we made a lot of mistakes, many of which could have been avoided. Many of the mistakes were silly ones, to say the very least. That can’t happen during the playoffs because a mistake can cost you dearly and get you eliminated. We have to be stronger than ever and seize the advantage we’ve got.”</p>
