The Montenegro strategist frankly: “Compared to the Super Cup match, that match Hanoi played better. The first half today was the complete opposite of the Super Cup. The second half the whole team played better, but it must be admitted that your team played well We didn’t play well both offensively and defensively, we mightn’t keep our position.

If the players had played like the previous Super Cup the result might have been different, we lost too much ball. Today Hanoi played quite slowly, the players made slow decisions that made the match not as expected. Of course the season is still long, there are still many games to play.”
