“John-Dal Thomason recognized a well-deserved victory for a opponent”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
“This is Kosovo’s well -deserved victory. They wanted more. We did not adhere to our principles. We played slowly and did not respond quickly when they lost the ball. Allowed four counterattacks where they had to act better as a team. We, coaches, are also guilty of this.
In the second half we tried, but without proper quality. We delivered the ball to the punitive playground, but we lacked ideas there.
Neither our defense play nor our game was good enough. It was a failure in everything. Everything was bad. But do not forget that before this match we won eight out of eleven games since September 2024. Eight victories, one defeat and two draws. It was really a step back, but the construction of the team takes time. We were not ourselves. We had a fantastic match against Slovenia, and this performance was weak. We dream of the world championship and it was a blow but we’ll find the way to get there
We will find the way. It should not be forgotten that this team has won eight out of the last twelve matches. In addition, we lacks several players, and it also needs to be taken into account, ”Jon-Dahl said.
