The whole team played with good spirit, following the set tactics, but there are still points that need to be improved to reach the long-term goal.
I appreciate the players' efforts. They showed solidarity, followed the tactics and were not afraid to clash with strong opponents. Of course, there are still shortcomings, especially in the ability to control the tempo of the match and handle decisive situations. We will continue to analyze to help the players improve."
