Joan Carrillo: We can develop our game against strong opponents

The two manager's shared their thoughts after the final friendly in Spain.

Joan Carrillo:

"I like playing against strong sides like these. I feel that it lets us develop our game. We made several technical errors in the first half. The German side closed us down intensively and hard, which led to mistakes and goals. We also had chances but they did not go in. We made plenty of changes in the second half trying out a different formation. We also gave other players the chance to play, which is what the training camp is about. I liked the attitude shown by the boys and the work they have put in during the two weeks. I am convinced that the team will be fresh against Honved. Playing with the right intensity will help us pick up the three points against them."

Pellegrino Matarazzo:

"The season continues for us in 12 days. I was satisfied with our performance as we prepare for the re-start. Each training session and game that we play helps and the same applies to the match today. It provides us with an idea of who to count on for the first game. We starting working together recently and the training camp has given us the perfect chance to get to the know the team and my football philosophy. I believe that we can get promoted back to the first division at the end of the season."
