Adelaide United Head Coach Theo Tsiounis reflects on today’s encounter, the intensity of the contest and where the Reds can improve moving forward.
On making a flying start but coming away with a point…
I think for us, it’s about taking it one game at a time. We’re disappointed that we didn’t make the most of the opportunities we created. I thought we went forward a little bit quicker than we usually do and created enough chances to come away with a victory today.
It was disappointing to concede the goal in the circumstances that we did, but we’ll go away, reflect and look at the areas we can improve. We’ll put the time and effort in on the training pitch and look to be better moving forward.
On the intensity and feisty nature of the contest…
I love it. I think it’s great for the game. It’s about players showing that they care, and how good is that? We don’t get enough of it at times.
Obviously, we want to play football, but showing a bit of passion and demonstrating that you care about what you’re doing and who you’re representing is awesome. I think that’s great for the game from both sides.
On the team’s injury situation…
We’ve got a few little niggling issues. Obviously, Bella looks to have picked up an injury. We’ll need to get some more information, and hopefully it’s not serious.
We’ll wait to find out more, but fingers crossed she’s okay.
