No excuses from Hyypia

Hyypia had been ill before the game but he is refusing to use that as an excuse for what was an awful team performance.

"When I came off the pitch I went straight to the toilet to throw up, I had been unwell for a couple of days. My whole family had been sick," says Hyypia.
 
"It wasn't the best preparation for a game like this, it made it more difficult for me. I was low on energy because I had not eaten anything for a couple of days.
 
"But I do not make excuses, if I go onto the pitch I try 100% and this day wasn't up to my standards."
