Joan Carrillo: We are improving each day

The two managers shared their thoughts shortly after Saturday's final whistle.

Joan Carrillo:

"We were quicker in the first half and our mobility was fine. We reacted well to the situations and were disciplined in our defending. We also created good attacks. I liked this but the second forty five minutes did not produce too much individually. It is somewhat understandable as the players knew that the game had already been settled. I would like to see the performance shown in the first half. We are improving each day and the injured players are slowly returning. Regeneration will be important for us next week. We have a game away against ZTE and then travel to the Pancho Arena to play Puskas Academy in another vital league game."

Disztl László:

"Sadly the first 20 minutes did not go the way we wanted it to. We wanted to defend securely as we had done in recent games. However, we ended up conceding a goal after 2 minutes. We then suffered an own goal as well. This turned our plans on its head and we could not cope in the first half. Robert Waltner shook the team up at half time and also brought some youngsters on. They played with confidence and brought some momentum. We also had more chances and are attacking showed hope. I felt that the second half would have deserved a goal. We tried but today's battle was lost at the start. Vidi's team today was totally different to the one that beat us 4-2 on the opening day of the season. They have brought in new players and a new manager. They have quick, dynamic footballers in the attacking third. We could not compete with them in the first 45 minutes. The remainder of the season will be hard for us but we will give everything."
