MALDIVES - Valencia climbs up to the top position of Dhivehi
League Zone 9 Qualification Table after they beat Eagles in tonight’s
match. The game was fairly even until Andy scored in the beginning
of the second half.
It was Eagles
who got the best chance in the first half to take the lead, but
the shot went off target.
In the second
half as well, Eagles got some open chances but they were unable
to score. The second goal for Valencia was scored by Raushan, who
came as a substitute, from a lovely header.
The man of the
match was awarded to Akram of Valencia
In the post
news match conference, Eric Williams, coach of Valencia said that
he was disappointed about his players’ performance.
“I thought
the game was quite even in the first half. They (Eagles players)
defended quite well and didn’t give us enough space.”
“I asked
my players to give four passes before they go at the goal, but they
were unable to give 3 passes even. It was quite disappointing”
“It was
really difficult to motivate them. Maybe it’s a tradition
in here, when we play with lower teams to make it ease”
He also noted
that they wanted to score more goals so that their goal difference
would be much better but the players were unable to do it.
Meanwhile, Eagles
Assistant coach Nimad said that the players were in a lot of pressure
and they were absorbing it during the game.
“I asked
them not to worry about the result and to play a good game. They
played a good game for a few minutes but could not keep it up”
Nimad also highlighted
that the players felt more pressure after they missed out the chances.
“We got
some good chances in the first half, but were unable to convert
it. And after Valencia got their first goal even, we got some good
chances. But they missed out that too. The strikers were too careless
I guess”
