We always knew that this was going to be a tough afternoon for us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was on our toes to win the game of football because of the start that we\u2019ve had and the results that we\u2019ve had. We always knew we were going to have to overcome an honest group of players, which we eventually did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a really solid, strong performance, defensively, sound. I thought we got after them on the press and we created chances as well. We just had a few more opportunities where we could have been a little bit more clinical, but I think that\u2019s just me looking and reviewing that from maybe a manager\u2019s point of view instead of a supporter\u2019s point of view.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were good out of possession. We got the press right. We forced them to go long. Any little periods of sustained pressure that they had, we saw it out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen had no complaints about the result, conceding that they \u201clost to a better team\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Pedersen said: \u201cFirst, we are all disappointed. It was not the performance we hoped for today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we got a good beginning of the game, and then we conceded a transition goal. And then afterwards, we struggled a little bit with the belief, with the trust to have the ball, to move the ball quick enough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then in the second half, after five minutes we conceded. We struggled to find the last pass, to have the last crossing, the last movement. Yeah, so we lost to a better team today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe always make an analysis of the different phases of the game. And I think from the defensive perspective, we were not as dominant as we very often are in our pressing. We\u2019ll also analyse the second ball.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know my boys and I know how we have trained this week, I know how we have played, and I\u2019m sure we can fight this again. They are strong characters, they are strong boys and it\u2019s a strong group.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyrese Campbell scored twice \u2013 finding the net either side of the break \u2013 with substitute Tom Cannon&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":589007,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8817],"tags":[748,393,4884,1620,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-589006","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sheffield","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-sheffield","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589006","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=589006"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589006\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/589007"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=589006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=589006"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=589006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
