Lazetic explained during the post-match press conference that the technical staff had expected a tight match, noting that the lack of time did not give the team sufficient opportunity to analyse the opponent as required before the game

The head coach pointed out that Al-Taawoun faced some difficulties during the first half in finding space, but that as the match went on the team succeeded in dealing better with the course of the game and improving its performance on the pitch

Lazetic added that Al-Taawoun, overall, succeeded in controlling the match both defensively and offensively, affirming that what matters most in the end is winning and qualifying and continuing the journey in the tournament

Regarding how far the team's identity has shown and the goals Al-Taawoun seek to achieve in the King's Cup, Lazetic affirmed that what has been achieved represents only the beginning of the journey, and that there are many aspects the technical staff is working to develop and reach over time

He explained that the team faces a busy schedule of matches in the coming stage, so the focus will be on each match separately, and on working step by step without making early promises about results or final goals

On the players' chances given the multiple options in the squad, Lazetic affirmed that the door is open to all players, explaining that whoever proves their readiness in training and delivers the level that qualifies them to play will get their chance

The head coach stressed the importance of the readiness of all the team's members, especially with the multiple commitments, affirming that having multiple options gives the technical staff greater room in choosing the right line-up for each match
