Farioli: 'AZ deserved the win'

Francesco Faroili was honest after defeat in Alkmaar (2-0). "AZ deserved to win. We had trouble creating chances. Unfortunately we also hit the post, and we had an opportunity with Kristian Hlynsson, but we lacked force in the six-yard box. I thought we weren't hard enough on defence, and we weren't aggressive enough on the attack."
