I also take this opportunity to say a big thank you to our ever-present fans. As a team, we appreciate their support; to be honest, they deserve this trophy.”His coach, Tomas Trucha, while acknowledging the effort he put into scoring three times, wants to see more input from the player in terms of defending and helping in possession.“Still far from my expectations, it is good that he scored three goals, which is what we want from him, but he needs to be more involved in our game, to help us more in defense and possession,” Trucha said in an interview with Box to Box Podcast.The tactician added that the striker’s combination with other players on the pitch is still lacking, an area that he hopes will improve in the coming weeks.“He has had some good moments; he scored, which is good. We got the striker that we wanted, but the connection with other players and the combinations are still far from my expectations.”Stars Abroad: Tera, Rupia on target as Johana sufferers heavy defeat
