Jenswissing, Head Coach: "Now that the match is over, and it was a derby at home, everyone, including myself, is filled with regret. Cerezo is a good team. In the first half, we weren't able to press effectively and they got past us, which made things difficult. Even so, we found chances but couldn't quite turn them into clear-cut opportunities, although I think we created some really good chances at the beginning of the first half. Just when we thought we could continue in that good position, we conceded a goal and ended the first half 0-1 down. In the second half, I think the players gave it their all, and there were many things we could have done, such as winning a penalty, but football is a sport where you can't win if you don't score goals. I think our challenge is to not waste our chances and to finish them. We will accept the result and take on the ACL 2 in a few days. We want to prepare well for that match."

Q&Quot "You mentioned that you were dropped from the press in the first half. What was the reason it didn't work out?"
Head Coach Jens Vising: "I knew their strength was their ball-handling skills. I analyzed them as a team that builds up play from the back. Some people might look down on them just by looking at their ranking, but I don't think that's the case at all. As I predicted, they build up play, so the important thing is how we press them. We need to be confident, high-intensity, and have good timing. If we hesitate or are even a little late, they'll break through. I think we need to work on that more."

Q&Quot: Could you please explain the reason for substituting Handa early? Was it because he was unable to continue playing, or was it a decision made with the future in mind? Please also include his current condition.
Head Coach JENS WISSING : "He was injured, so we substituted him immediately. We haven't spoken to the doctor about the details yet, so we don't know the situation."

Q: "It's unusual to see Cerezo's starting player Thiago Antrade deployed as a lone striker. Could the fact that things didn't go well in the first half be due to the opponent's formation being different from usual?"
Head Coach JENS WISSING : "Thiago Andrade doesn't often play in the center, but it was a position he had in mind, so it wasn't a surprise. However, I don't think that's why the game unfolded the way it did today. I don't think that was the reason we lost. They capitalized on their chances and scored, while we had chances plus a penalty, but we couldn't convert our clear-cut opportunities. If you can't do that, you can't win even if you have the chance, so it's about how you make the most of your clear-cut chances."
