POST MATCH INTERVIEW WITH SISAKET'S GAFAR ADEFOLARIN DUROSINMI
How did you spend the international break?
We had just 5 days off, so I was relaxing with my friends in Bangkok. We went to watch movies and did some shopping. When we resumed training, we concentrated on more physical training because of the international break and the players’ condition.
 
How do these long breaks affect players and teams?
The break affects the rhythm of the team, especially when you are doing very well. Also the fitness of most players coming back is not as good as it should be.
 
What were your expectations before the match?
It was always going to be a difficult game so we prepared well. We know Chonburi are a very big side and have a lot of quality, so we knew it wouldn’t be easy. We decided to be very strong and match them in this respect.
 
What were your coach's instructions going into the game?
The coach wanted us to work as a unit and defend together as a team.
 
What were your impressions of the first half?
We started very well and put a lot of pressure on the Chonburi defence. However, we lost concentration a bit after our opening goal, which lead to the equaliser .
 
What was discussed in your dressing room at half time?
We were told to focus The coach told us that we were not doing badly but needed to be more clinical with our chances and not allow the Chonburi team to play in our half.
 
What were your impressions of the second half?
The 2nd half was full of chances for both teams. I felt it was a good result for us at the end, considering the quality of the Chonburi team.
 
How did you feel both teams performed?
I think both teams performed well. The match was full of action and great moments 
 
Which Chonburi players impressed you and why?
It has to be Thiago Cunha, he is always dangerous on and off the ball. And Assumpcao also did very well.
 
What did you think of your own performance?
I think I struggled a bit at the end because I’ve just come back from injury and only had a week’s training. But it was not a bad performance, playing against Chonburi..
 
What did you think of the referee’s performance?
I was impressed with the match official and I must commend him for the way he handled the game. He was very fair.
 
What are your expectations and ambitions for Sisaket for the rest of the season?
Our ambition is to finish as high as we can in the league and give it our all in the Toyota League Cup, as it is our only chance of silverware this season. 
 
And for yourself?
My personal ambitions are the same ambitions I have for the team. I hope to keep helping the team to get results and hit the 20 goal mark.
 
Thank you.
My pleasure and thank you as well.
