We asked the Vidi head coach about his expectations for the friendly match against FK Baumit Jablonec.
"I am satisfied with the attitude of all of the players, together with the work carried out over the last week and a half. They have all given 100%. We are over hard training sessions with the players rather tired. This is totally normal for this part of the pre-season period. We will gradually take back the load in the period coming up, so that the we do not over train them, and begin the new league season in a tired state. Wednesday's friendly match will give me the chance to see the tactics that we have gone over during training. We have also had a young foreign forward training with us over recent days, so he will probably get the chance to show what he can do in this friendly. We made a defensive mistake in the first friendly match in Austria, which cost us the goal so I hope that we can play the entire 90 minutes against Jablonec without any errors. It will not be simple as the opponents are a strong side, and I saw them play in a Europa League match against Betis last year, and they made a good impression on me, despite the fact that the Spanish side ended up comfortably going through" - commented Joan Carrillo to the website.
