'To be a champion, you have to be a champion every day. You have to give everything every day.

'I feel we lack a little bit of discipline in terms of that consistency. That's what is missing. 

'The quality is there, the football is there. But you have to do it every day. 

'You can't be happy because you win a game, two games, three games. You have to win every game.

'I think these are the steps that we have to take. We have the football, but we have to get more disciplined. Maybe someone else has a different opinion, but that is mine.
