Next, it went in to the terrain of game to head to me saying me: 'Here never more, here never more'".

When 'it went down' the pressure, Stefan Savic also complained of it sucedido during the afternoon of this Saturday. "We are calm. We do not know what is happening. We do not have luck, but is of crazy. It is necessary to go out forward. It does not be necessary to think in the things in which we have us influence. It is necessary to look in the face and to see as they resolve this situation, because it is not normal that take us out 15 cards, because we are not the only that are protesting".
