"But when you win, it's good, even if you play a first half like today's. We lacked intensity and dynamism, but we recovered in the second half with the right substitutions and by knowing where to position ourselves and attack. They pressed very high up the pitch, and we weren't good in the first half. But we improved in the second half and knew how to press. That's what I want to see from the team: intensity and pressure."
"We always want to play at our best, but sometimes it doesn't quite work out that way, But when you win, it's good, even if you play a first half like today's. We have a lot of travel, we arrived late from the last match, and there are hardly any rest days. We have to take that into account, but I see that the team is giving its best, especially in the second half."
The team lacked intensity and dynamism in the first half and struggled against a high press. Effective substitutions and better positioning produced a stronger second-half performance that recovered control and attacking threat. The team applied greater intensity and pressing in the second half, which delivered the desired pressure. Heavy travel and late arrival from the previous match limited rest and contributed to the first-half performance. Despite fatigue and a congested schedule, players gave their best, particularly after halftime adjustments. Emphasis remains on intensity, pressing, positioning, and timely substitutions to secure results under tight fixtures.
