Brian: "Getting a Goal in the Crappiest Way is Still a Goal"

The assistant manager, Brian Nathan's reflects:

on the result...
It was a good result, the team managed to bounce back after the defeat against MBJ United last week. It shows that the mentality is very good. Of course, we could have done better in tactical. But still, we managed to maintain the game pace because of the improvement of each player's fitness level. Everybody was playing their role that led us to a 1-0 win.

on the goal that we scored at the very last minute...
That was just because we never had the chance to penetrate the defends the way we wanted to. We like to play a perfect football match which at that time we should have tried to play an ugly game as well because getting a goal in the crappiest way is still a goal. Because the end result is important.

on the attacking game play throughout the match...
That is something that we did good. We created a lot of chances, the passings and the movements were good. The finishing was wiser than expected. The end result shows that we never give up to score.

on his substitutions...
It shows a lot of differences where the game flow did not change at all. We maintained the game flow when we don't do drastic changes. I changed the player according to the flow of the game so the substitutions could blend it to the game.

on the team spirit after bounced back to their winning ways...
You could see the team spirit after the match. The players are happy with the result. Even though it's a 1-0 win, but we controlled 75% of possession. It shows that the spirit is strong.
