FC Copenhagen secured a 2-0 victory against Vejle on Saturday, but coach Jacob Neestrup expressed dissatisfaction with the team’s performance despite the win. The coach acknowledged the team’s sloppiness and defensive lapses.
Lukas Lerager and Jordan Larsson scored the goals within the first 30 minutes of the match, ensuring the victory for FCK.
Neestrup pointed out areas for improvement, noting that the team conceded too many opportunities to Vejle, particularly from long balls, corner kicks, and set pieces. He felt that the team’s rest defense was not adequately positioned.
Despite his criticism, Neestrup highlighted positive aspects of the game, including good transitions that led to the 2-0 goal and created further scoring chances.
The match was part of a demanding schedule that includes Champions League qualification matches, requiring squad rotation to manage player fatigue. Neestrup acknowledged that this can disrupt the team’s rhythm, but emphasized the importance of securing victories in these matches.
FCK will now prepare to defend a 2-0 lead against Drita from Kosovo on Tuesday. This comes after the team has secured victories in the first three matches of the season.
