“The players haven’t got over that defeat yet. But I am urging my team mates to forget about the past and dwell on the present. We are still focused on the league title.
“We have 18 more games to play, and if we win all our matches, we have a chance depending on what happens elsewhere. I am not going to give up on the title, nothing has been won yet.
“We have been doing well, but in the last two matches we have been unlucky, but I am confident we can turn things around.”
