"I was sulking, I am still sulking. I won't even lie. Because we had it, I think, if we played badly or we didn't deserve to win it, you get over it quickly. But, the fact that I think we deserved to win it and we didn't, makes it a bitter pill to swallow," the 31-year-old told the media.
"But, like I say, we are professionals and we have to deal with it, look forward and make sure that we move on to better things ahead. Like I say, I am still dealing with it but I need to be a big boy and get over it.
"What makes it even harder for me to accept is that I wanted the coach to lift his first cup, I have been saying that since he got here. I want to see him succeed and I want to see him do well. So, that wasn't about me losing it, it was about me losing it. That tore me up even more,' the centre back revealed.
