He told the club’s official website: “We have to see Everton as another opportunity.
“We know it’s really hard for us now, the situation is difficult, but it’s not impossible.
“We will fight, we will give our best – and that’s the minimum we need to do.”

However, he claimed that the team needed to keep going after the decision went against them.
The winger added: “We started well, and their first goal was a big knock, but that’s football.
“I don’t have the words to explain what happened. We knew it was very important and it puts us in a very difficult situation.
“I don’t know what to say, but we need to keep going, to keep working until the end.
“We tried, they played well, three goals… it’s difficult. We know we need to improve and as I said, we have to keep going.”
