Manager Bilic reflected on the game, "We didn't start well, as everyone could see, and quickly conceded two goals, mainly due to our own mistakes, especially the second one. After that we played well, created a lot of chances and scored a goal. I think this game, win, lose or draw, was possible because we had a lot of chances. The result was not as good as we would have liked, and there were some problems with us, but of course the goalkeeper of the other team also played very well and contributed three good saves. Overall, it was a good game for both sides and any result is possible when you meet a good opponent."
Talking about today's three center backs tactical arrangement, Bilic said, "The season has just started and I think today's attempt was pretty good, we were able to push well into the opponent's half and create a lot of chances. For

It's not the first time for the team to play three center backs, but of course it hasn't been used often before. The choice of formation depends mainly on the kind of players we have."
Facing two consecutive defeats in the league, Bilic said, "Losing the first game was really not very pleasant, but I have emphasized with the whole team that we can't lose confidence. I didn't feel anxious during the game."
When asked if there are barriers to communicating with the players, Bilic responded, "I've coached in many countries, I've worked in Russia, Turkey and the Middle East, and I know how to communicate with the players. In closed conditions, I have more time to communicate with the players. In addition, I have a good interpreter, so I don't feel any obstacles in communicating with the players."
