Igor Tudor (OM): “It will be the match of the year” against Tottenham

“What did you miss tonight to bring back a positive result?
Should have scored the goal. I think we had a good game, but not enough to win. The players gave a lot, I saw a lot of positives, but I didn’t like how we lacked defensive edge at the start. That’s why we conceded the two goals. We did not approach the match mentally as it should. Then we ran a lot and we did everything to turn things around, but that wasn’t enough.

“We put the necessary content to be able to snatch the draw”

The Frankfurt players were able to penetrate easily to your surface. Why you think ?
I haven’t seen that. They were strong, they created danger but so did we. There were some on both sides. We put the necessary content to be able to snatch the draw. Even if in the end we lose, it is played on details. We are still at fault on the second goal, but I saw positive things. We have this final in six days, we don’t have to worry too much. It will be the game of the year. For the supporters, it will be beautiful. Considering how we have played so far, we deserve to win. We’re good enough to do it. We were brave, we can be proud. The way we have shaken up all these teams makes me proud. Players can be.

Why did you decide to replace Mattéo Guendouzi so early?
I wanted to bring more offensive solutions, I brought in offensive cards to have more penetration force at the end. »
