Joan Carrillo: We are continuously working on our tactics and fitness

The two managers spoke shortly after the final whistle on Monday evening.

Joan Carrillo:

"Now it is time to work but I can see the team developing. The players continue to get used to our playing philosophy and embrace what I expect from them. I liked the way the team was organised today. Sion are a good side but did not really create a chance against us. We had a training session before today's match as we continuously work on our tactics and stamina. We will have another friendly game in a couple of days and we are always looking at the players. Akos Elek for example did not train yesterday while Boban Nikolov and Roland Juhasz did not feature today due to slight injuries."

Victor Dionisio:

"We placed good pressure on our opponents in the first half. However, even though we managed to get hold of the ball a lot, we lost possession as we built moves. We really need to improve in this area. We made plenty of changes at half time and also tried out a different formation. We had two forwards in the final third. We had more of the ball in the second 45 minutes but did not really find the right tempo. We really will need to play with more intensity. We were not aggressive enough in our attacking play, which is why we did not force mistakes out of the Hungarian defence."
