Read what new Omonia manager Cetil Rekdal had to say after the Greens' comprehensive 5-1 victory over Doxa in the GSP on his debut.
Analytically…
"It was a great win, very good first half with a lot of intensity, 10-11 chances to score. The aim was to try to do the same in the second half but we lost a bit of our structure, we got a bit tired, the passing was not of as high a standard as in the first half. But it was a great start, a win we thoroughly deserved, a game our fans enjoyed, 15 chances. We should have scored more goals but you can't expect everything in two days. We have another game on Wednesday, back to work from tomorrow."
If this is what he wants to see from his team in every game: "Of course you want to see your team play well with great intensity but we will also play better teams, maybe there will be more close games. We want many goals, to dominate".
On the fact that he was quite calm on the bench and whether he is always like that or if he liked the particular game: "I was very focused on the game but you will definitely see me more upset, angry. The important thing is to have confidence in your players. I don't think shouting at the players for 90 minutes is the best thing."
On transfers: "I've been here for three days, I don't know the roster well, there are players I haven't seen play yet. The important thing is to do a good job with the players you have at your disposal. Mr. Janson is in charge of transfers, who has been here for a long time and knows the players better."
"Our ambition is to claim the championship, I have been here for one game, today we chose the eleven with the help of my partners. We made some changes to the positions of the players on the field. We wanted to pressure the opponent, to win the ball quickly."
On Cipriano's injury: "I don't know how serious it is, the doctors will tell us tomorrow."
On his compatriot Berg being criticized for making changes late or not at all and what his own philosophy is: “It depends. Today it was necessary with Cipriano's injury while we also saw that some people got tired, we have two games next week. It's also important to use your roster and not play with the same 11 all the time. But it's normal for the best players to play more."
