He cited the team’s need to be more disciplined and mature, particularly in their ability to defend against set pieces. Kulusevski indicated that improvement in these areas is crucial for the team to progress and be successful.
He acknowledged the importance of mentality in football and emphasized the need for mental strength in every situation, particularly in difficult circumstances such as being down 3-0 at half time and having to make a comeback. Kulusevski also discussed the challenges and sacrifices involved in striving for victory, and emphasized the necessity of consistent performance throughout the entire 90 minutes of a match. Regarding the rules of VAR, Kulusevski expressed his frustration and admitted that he no longer understands the regulations after a disallowed goal due to an offside decision.
