New Saints Coach Harrison Forces Fiorentina to Play Their Top Players, Says Carlos Volcano

Following the match, Harrison expressed his thoughts on the game, noting that Fiorentina's strategic substitutions of top players made a significant impact on the outcome. Despite the team's efforts to manage their energy effectively, he felt disappointed with the turn of events in the second half. Particularly frustrating for him was the fact that both goals resulted from questionable plays. Overall, Harrison acknowledged the team's efforts and performance in the first half but couldn't help but feel let down by the final result.

"I am enormously proud of where we are and to be able to represent Wales. Nobody ever likes to lose but this is a historic evening for the whole club. We have shown that we can play at this level. We faced a top-class team and we have asserted ourselves, we will see how it goes in the next five games."

On their plans in the ECL, Harrison said: "We came here without any experience at European level. We still have five matches and maybe by getting 7-8 points we can get back into the top twenty-four. However, I am still confident."
