Head Coach comments after the match

Head Coach

JENS WISSING, Head Coach: "Honestly, I don't feel good about it. 25 minutes have passed since the end of the match, and that hasn't changed. Playing good football doesn't guarantee a win. We conceded goals too easily. And in the last few seconds, the opponent had a chance and could have scored a third goal. We won on penalties, but as I said at the beginning, I don't feel good about it."

Q" "I imagine you wanted to secure all three points, but scoring from a set piece, which had been a weakness, was a significant achievement, wasn't it? How do you evaluate that aspect?"
JENS WISSING, Head Coach: "There are many positive aspects in every match. If we pick out today's game, there are good points, but more than that, we created so many chances and failed to score. Opponents who had fewer chances than us ended up scoring. Our defense wasn't bad, but I think the small things at the end are what make the difference, and we need to stop the opponent from getting away with set pieces and counter-attacks. We want to work hard on those things for the rest of the season."

Q: "Usami has returned to the team. Could you please give us your assessment of his performance today and your expectations for the future?"
JENS WISSING, Head Coach : "Regarding Usami's return, it was a joyous occasion for both myself and the entire team. He was injured in the opening match, which I'm sure was disappointing for him. When he played, I think he was able to show his high quality on the pitch. His ability to control and retain the ball even under pressure is a testament to his quality, and I believe he's a player who can make a difference with his decision-making and touch. From here on, I think he can improve his match fitness and physical condition."

Q" "You mentioned that you conceded goals easily. Was fatigue from ACL2 a contributing factor to that?"
Head Coach JENS WISSING : "The fatigue from ACL2 had absolutely no effect. We are a professional team, and we need to be thorough in what we need to do for each and every match. To say that we conceded goals because of fatigue is just an excuse; that was not the reason."
