“We talked about starting the game quickly. But we gave away แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ a penalty early on, which VAR checked. We showed good character, we were excellent in the first half. The longer we were in the game, the more fluid we were.”
“We talk too much about attacking and forget about the other side of the game. The two centre-backs, the full-backs and the goalkeeper were outstanding in defending the box today. We were solid and deserved to win more.”
“The team responded very well after conceding the goal. The players played with full confidence. It is very commendable.”
“The important thing is that this is not a final. This victory is not the highlight of our tournament. We have important games next week.”
On Jay Stansfield, the striker in the game: “Stansfield has been excellent throughout the camp. We couldn’t rest players because of our group stage situation. That’s one reason why Elliott Anderson didn’t start today.”
