Competition Analysis
This is a wonderful victory. From the first minute of the game, it can be seen that we will win, and we will win beautifully. The attitude of the players is very correct. We quickly got over the shadow of the defeat in the away game at Newcastle. We have practiced diligently in the past few days and are fully prepared for this game.
We played well at the strategic level at the beginning. The team was strong and aggressive, pressing the ball aggressively and stealing the ball in the frontcourt without giving our opponents any chance to organize an attack. We are full of desire to win. For us, one goal is not enough, two is not enough, and three is not enough. As long as we still have the energy to maintain a high-intensity rhythm, we will not give Aroca any chance. Aroca itself is a good team, but our performance today was too strong for them.
Talk about Prestiani and Thomas Araujo starting for the first time
We have three outstanding central defenders. It is not an exaggeration to say four, five or even six. There are many excellent players in this position in the team lineup. We have three experienced players and three or four young players with great potential. Thomas' appearance was inconsistent with his quality in the first seven games I coached, and he only played two games, while Antonio Silva played every minute of the seven games. I gave Thomas a great opportunity and he did really well.
For Prestiani, we hope that he can show the courage to fight and fight hard, have the courage to dominate the game, take the initiative to attack, dare to break through the opponent one-on-one, and create space for Dahl to innovate from the wing. At the stage when he still had energy and didn't get a warning card, I thought he performed well in the competition. Players who play like him will inevitably lose the ball. This is not a problem. Players who never concede the ball are often those who dare not take risks. I think he played well in this game.
