He however said it is not bad to open with winning one match and losing another, saying that his team will be better prepared next game.

“It is not what we were expecting, is too bad to lose,” he stated. “My boys were not tactically disciplined, they lack composure and lost concentration as a result of the early goal.”

“All what we need is 3 points and that was what we scored and it paid dividend,” said the Tallinding coach, adding that Tallinding is vying for the first division, and a win is the only weapon they can use to achieve their goals.
