Brandon Thomas, one of the bright spots from the first game, spoke with the press after that game against Sint Truiden and highlighted the importance of the result, “we treat these games like training. It is a chance to gather rhythm and gametime before the start of the league.” Then, he applauded the group´s positive attitude.
The Mallorcan opined that the team did show well, “we played against a good, first-division Belgian team. They were defensively tight and more comfortable because they had had more days of their preseason. It was a tough game because we had to play a man-down from the 25th minute. The important thing is that the team played and accumulated minutes together.”
The player did not want to blame the expulsion for any poor play because, “referees are a story of their own. We have to keep working and training every day so that we can show well against any team,” he confirmed.
Brandon added that the changes put wind in the team´s sails, “the group from the second half came in fresh and did well” and from a personal standpoint, the player was content “to have minutes. I had a good outing and I hope that it will carry over into the league,” he concluded.
