The two manager's shared their thoughts on Thursday's friendly game.
Henning Berg:
"It was hard to play in such circumstances today. I am thinking here about the great heat, but today's game served our preparations well. Naturally there are still areas that we need to improve in. We need to be better when it comes to converting the chances we create. We had several chances, but scored from only one of them. We conceded goals from two set pieces. One was a corner and the other a penalty. We are still in the middle of pre-season and the players are learning new tactical elements. It is also important that the players are 100% fit for the start of the season, which is why today's game was useful."
Ivica Solomun:
"This was our first friendly game so I think that we performed well considering this. This also applies to the fact that a couple of players left the club at the end of last season. Fortunately we still have quality players in our squad, and I also tried out several youngsters. We had ten out there on the pitch during the second half. I am very satisfied with them and we played well against strong opponents. I hope that they learned a lot from today's 90 minutes."
