He expressed concern about his team’s defense and stressed the importance of continued training to address these issues. Nonetheless, he acknowledged that Great Olympics deserved the win.
“I’m very worried about our defense but I mean I know we have to train for it. We have to keep on training for it and hope everything will be fine. Regardless, as I said Olympics deserved the win.”
