“We are still sad. I’m still sad. It has been long hours from the game and everybody’s just been down, to be honest. Right from the moment after the game, the emotion was really high.

“People are still in their feelings.Some people didn’t even come out today for breakfast. Most of us, like myself, I didn’t have breakfast. I didn’t show up to lunch.

“It was later in the afternoon that I decided to eat something. And it is just the same as some of my teammates. We’ve all been down.”
