We played a very, very good first half. We made a good start. Our tempo was very good. We could have been better in the second half. We showed good performance and again did not concede a goal. These make me very happy.

Italiano highlighted the team's ability to maintain its identity despite making four substitutions. "We need everyone in every competition. Everyone is trying to give their 100 percent. I told them in the locker room that we need to be more careful. When we were building up play, we were giving counter-attack chances with simple losses," he stated.

Regarding new signings Trossard and Vlahovic, Italiano explained his approach. "We saw this management with Trossard. I gave him playing time gradually. Trossard played 70 minutes. Vlahovic will also gradually catch the same rhythm. He trained individually for a long time. We must be careful, or he could get injured. I think he will be on the bench for Thursday's match," he said. He described Vlahovic as a physical player and a good finisher inside the penalty area, adding, "We will see him on the field soon."
