"We lacked transitions. The goal was fantastic. It's a shame we didn't score the second one shortly before halftime. "We knew Barça would have chances. In the second half, we said we would score another goal. We had a good spell. It's a shame to lose the game from a set piece."
"We prepared him, as we did the whole team. We gave him individual images of Lamine's profile, why he's explosive on the wing, and how to catch him off guard. "He defended him very well. We did it together. He went one-on-one. But others also helped him. We knew it was difficult to defend him one-on-one."
"We felt it was possible to beat a world-class team. We wanted to score another goal in the second half. It was tough. "We want to grow. Faith and conviction in this team. I know we'll have a good season," he noted."
Eintracht Frankfurt lost 1-2 to Barcelona despite delivering much of the planned game strategy and defending well at times. The team created a strong spell in the second half and had a clear opportunity shortly before halftime that could have changed the match. Transitions and failure to convert chances were decisive, and the match was ultimately lost from a set piece. Nathaniel Brown was prepared specifically to face Lamine Yamal with individual analysis and team support, and he performed well defensively. The squad remains optimistic, believing in growth, faith, conviction, and a good season ahead.
