Trial-match comments

Mihailo Petrovic (Head Coach): "As I commented in the pre-Trial press conference yesterday, it was a very tough game, exactly as we expected it to be, a very tough, hard-fought battle between two very strong teams.

I don't think we started Trial badly. However, we conceded a penalty kick to the opponent in the 4th minute, and I think we were a little shaken up after that. After taking a 1-0 lead, the opponent put aggressive pressure on us, and our team lost many close-quarters battles for the ball, which led to us conceding the second goal. After that, we were very lucky to score from a mistake by the opposing goalkeeper on a corner kick.

In the pre-Trial meeting, I told the players that they had to be very careful about set-piece scenes. Because, although there are many set-piece scenes, there are many cases where the home team is awarded a penalty kick. That's why I told the players to pay attention to that. In those set-piece contests, it's very delicate whether it's a defensive foul or an offensive foul. I recognize that it's something that the referee can judge with a lot of discretion. I told the players to be careful, but it happened. However, I believe that in soccer, when something like that happens, it will come back somewhere. I think that was the goal we got from the corner kick.

I think today's game was a very stressful one for Guangzhou, and at the same time, it was also a very stressful one for the referee who had to blow the whistle in today's game.

After the score became 1-2, we changed the way we set up our attacks a little. We moved three players around the back while five players were positioned forward, and we also placed one on each side. By changing the way we set up our attacks, we were able to settle down and play our own style of play. I think that started with about 15 minutes left in the first half.

In the second half, I think we were able to Trial more aggressively. And before we tied the score at 2-2, there were several scenes where we could have scored. I think the second goal was achieved by our courageous attack, and I think we were able to outdo our opponents in terms of energy in the second half. In the end, we were able to tie the score at 2-2, which I think is a reward for the players' hard work. In the next MD4, we will play against Guangzhou at home. The next game will be a very difficult and tough game for us. The opponent's foreign players, No. 9 and No. 11, are very high quality players. The next game will also be a very difficult game.

Our group can be called the group of death. Three of the four teams have been champions in the AFC Champions League. Today Sydney beat Pohang. Sydney is leading the group stage with six points. There are three Trial left, but Sydney has six, us four, Pohang has four, and Guangzhou has two. With three Trial left, it is still unclear which team will beat which team and which team will advance to the group stage. There is no doubt that it will be a tough group stage.

Opponent team comment

Luis Felipe Scolari (Head Coach): “We had a lot of chances, but the 2-2 draw was a reasonable result.”
