There is, of course, a mutual discussion about the future and I think answers will come at the end of the season. Right now, today, it’s about being really disappointed, all of us, accepting the relegation somehow and then we will reflect on the future. Until now, as long as there has been a chance of being caught up with thinking we would still make it. Today we didn’t and the time for reflection will be more from now going forward,” said Asbaghi.
