Bani Yas coach, Portuguese Joao Pedro, revealed the details of the advice he gave to his players between the two halves of their match against Ajman the night before yesterday, in the third round of the ADNOC Professional Football League, and how it was the reason for the completely different appearance in the second half of the match and guaranteed him a 3-1 victory, thus achieving the “Sky Blues” his second victory in the first two matches on his home ground for the first time since the 2011-2012 edition.
Pedro said in the press conference after the end of the match, which was hosted by Al Shamkha Stadium, that their start in the match was not good, and that his team players did not implement the ideas he had given them.
The Portuguese coach indicated that he used the break between the two halves to re-prepare the players for what awaited them, and gave them a set of advice, saying: “I explained to the players the importance of returning to the match, presenting a different performance, and developing, in addition to correcting the mistakes we made in the first half.”
In contrast, Ajman coach Goran Tufegdzic, who suffered his third consecutive loss, expressed his disappointment, pointing out that “Al-Burkan” appeared with two faces during the match, explaining that his team was cohesive in the first half, unlike the second half, which witnessed them making mistakes.
He said after the end of the match: “Bani Yas knew how to play counterattacks. We, for our part, tried to advance forward, but it was useless. In my opinion, we should have made a greater effort in the second half in order to achieve a positive result.”
