Filip Benkovic looked serious after Udinese’s 1-2 loss against Asian Cup winners Qatar. “We should have been better today. We weren’t sharp enough, which is what the coach asked of us. We’ll stay focused for the match tomorrow.”
He also shared his thoughts on the team’s progress at the training camp in Austria. “It’s going well. We’re training hard every day. I’m happy with how we’re doing. We need to give everything and keep going like that. It’s the only way to achieve the success we desire.”
It was Benkovic who got on the scoresheet in the friendly, bagging his second goal for the club. “I’m happy about my goal, but I’m happier when the team plays well. We can only improve going forward.”
