Post match comments (tranlated) from the Legia boss:
Legia Warszawa coach Goncalo Feio summed up the match against Caernarfon Town FC at the post-match conference and answered journalists’ questions.
I would like to congratulate my players, because they are the ones who win matches. We have made a big advance, which we have to confirm in the second match. I am glad that this is probably the last match in front of empty stands, because we need fans and football is for people. We play for our community.
- We knew we were a clear favourite. The opponent changed their structure especially for this match. In the first half we were not able to identify the space behind the defence line well, which we should have used much better. I am pleased that we opened the score with a set piece. Last season, a goal in the match against Warta from a set piece allowed us to enter the European cups. Today, we also scored the goal for 1:0 from a corner kick. We scored the second goal due to a mistake by the opposing goalkeeper.
- After the break, the team played better and with each successive goal, our superiority over the rival was increasingly emphasized. It was increasingly difficult for the guests to stand up, but I would like to appreciate the rival. For them, this is the most important match in the club's history and in the careers of these players. They stood up as best they could. From small victories - apart from the result 6:0 - we have debuts of other players, the first hat-trick of a Legia player in European cups in a long time, and goals from different stages of the game. Another victory, another clean sheet. We want to develop, and the best way to develop is by winning. Now we have to prepare for the match with Korona.
- The only ones who don't make mistakes are the ones who don't play. The level of expectations is high - we represent Legia and I'm definitely not happy with how we started the game. However, you have to separate the shots from the situation. In an ideal world, I would like the opponent not to take shots. We've played two games this season and the opponents had two shots on target at our goal. I'm not happy with our start, but that was more about how we played with the ball than how we played without it.
