FC Copenhagen’s coach, Jacob Neestrup, has publicly addressed the media and critics following the team’s Danish championship victory. He emphasized the significant changes made to the squad last summer and defended the contributions of players who faced criticism during the season.

Neestrup highlighted the importance of the squad changes made last summer. He stated that these changes were crucial in creating a new and motivated team, ultimately leading to their success.

He attributed the championship win to two key factors: the skill of the players and their unwavering commitment to the team. Neestrup emphasized that despite challenges throughout the season, the players consistently prioritized the club’s success over individual ambitions.

The coach also expressed his dissatisfaction with the criticism directed at some of the team’s loaned players, including Diant Ramaj, Pantelis Hatzidiakos, Marcos Lopez, Giorgi Gocholeishvili, and Robert. He insisted that these players deserve recognition for their contributions and that they fully integrated into the team. Robert has since secured a permanent contract with the club.

Neestrup acknowledged the criticism he personally faced from the media but stated that he accepts it as part of the job. He emphasized the high expectations and pressure that come with coaching FC Copenhagen, highlighting the club’s success in both domestic competitions and European tournaments.

FC Copenhagen secured the championship after a 3-0 victory against FC Nordsjælland, finishing one point ahead of FC Midtjylland. Neestrup believes the team’s success is a testament to the character and quality of the players brought in last summer.
