Head Coach comments after the match

First of all, I'm glad we were able to win without suffering a losing streak. In our meeting, we talked about how teams worthy of winning the championship don't suffer many losing streaks, so I'm glad we were able to secure a victory.
There were a few dangerous moments on the counter-attack, but thankfully we couldn't concede the winning goal. Regarding using Alli as a lone striker, we decided to try him out in that position, experimenting to see how his strengths could be utilized. He held the ball well, and there were moments where he looked like he could break through. I think he'll get even better if he starts to take more initiative. For the youth players, playing for the U-21 team is a great source of motivation, and they approach the matches with high motivation. I think they're getting a lot of good inspiration from watching the top players. The important thing now is how well they can utilize the experience they gained when they return to the youth team. What can they do even when their bodies are a little tired from playing consecutive matches against the Premier League? I hope they can use these aspects, among others, to help them grow in the future.
