First, Rob Maas spoke about the match: “We didn’t play well in the first half, not like we can or need to play. At the break, I said to the players that we can play much better. We needed to play much better and find the ball, then there will be more open space, then that’s what happened in the second half. I trusted the players and have them the confidence that they can play better".
Afterwards, the Assistant Manager added: “I enjoyed seeing the players happy after the win. I don’t look too far, just match-to-match. On Monday, there is a new match and we will take the positive things from this match, including paritcipationg from our academy players. That is a big complement to a club that there are talented players we can use".
To finish, Maas spoke about Caio’s assist on the first goal: “Caio is a player that can do positive things with the ball and therefore we need to the ball to him. He needs to be more dominating. After his return from injury, he has gotten better and worked hard in order to be in the starting lineup".
