Faroes Manager Keeps his Word


Faroe Islands manager Sofus dal Chrstiansen promised to us yesterday that his team would put in an improved performance today and he kept to his word as the Islanders ran out 24-10 winners against a deflated Turkish U21 side.

“We were very stiff against Latvia yesterday as we had had such a long journey and we were tired in our heads too. We spoke about this yesterday and it is important for me that the players have the right mentality in the group at all times.

“We knew that we were physically stronger today, especially defensively, the plan to stress them and always attack them and make them tired they had to do a lot of work in attack.

“In the first half our counter attack wasn’t so good, maybe the reason was that every time they shoot the ball they were too far away.

“In the second half we kept our tempo high so we kept stressing them.”

“When you are playing well the self-confidence is high and maybe we interrupt and change the attack and defence too much so the game plan changed.

“Our goalkeeper was very good and made some good saves as well as some good man-to-man work. Every time she did her man-to-man work well their self-confidence.
