"What is terrible is it will be interpreted as a lack of seriousness and respect but I think it is because he is too serious. He decided to do that because he was a bit insecure about taking the second penalty because it has never happened to him and he was scared to miss it.
"We got away with it because we won the game. I feel the intention of Robert was not a lack of seriousness. It was just a wrong and a bad decision. If it had been 1-1 we'd have made a big mistake by not taking our second chance on the penalty."
"Robert came to me after the game telling me he was sorry and that he had made a big mistake, but as a manager, you have to live with these things. My reaction after the incident was one of surprise.
"Maybe if Robert had missed the first penalty, you could have understood had he tried to pass the ball as he would have been shaky. He should have been full of confidence after smashing in the first penalty so marvellously."
