The 2-1 defeat to Albirex Niigata on Thursday evening at Jalan Besar Stadium was the Courts Young Lions' sixth misfortune of the season after seven games, however coach Aide Iskandar is not even dreadful about it.
Rather, Aide highlighted that his players were in the process of learning the drills of professional setting.
Aide said that, “In general I was quite happy with the way they approached this game, but again the goals we conceded we could have avoided.”
“These boys are still young, but I wouldn’t want to use this excuse a lot, and I think they need to step up, they need to learn.“
The Courts Young Lions’ coach likewise figured out how to discover a few positives in spite of the defeat, particularly after the absence of players has constrained him. The coach was set to begin with Sherif El Masri playing in the left-back part, instead of his common position on the flanks.
Aide added that, “To be fair, we played a quality team you know, Albirex is a good team so it is a good experience for this side.”
“The second goal really killed us because we were trying to search for the equaliser, but I got to give credit to the boys for their last ten minutes, they pushed, they wanted to get a goal and we got one but unfortunately we couldn’t get the second one,” Aide continues.
Albirex head coach, Tatsuyuki Okuyama was unsurprisingly disappointed with the triumph in the wake of seeing his squad misused some gilt-edged opportunities to extend their lead.
Tatsuyuki has over and again grieved after matches about his squad's recklessness in front of goal and tonight was no difference for the coach.
“I am happy but I cannot be happy, because we couldn’t score enough,“ noted Tatsuyuki.
“Young Lions are a very good team, we knew it was very difficult to defend against their offense so we should have scored more to beat them,” Tatsuyuki continues.
Notwithstanding having three wins from their last four games, the Japanese coach likewise cautioned his side that they couldn't stand to rest on their glory.
“I am satisfied with the recent results, we are having very tough games but we have a very young team so we have to improve through the season,“ the Japanese coach concluded.
