While disappointed with the result, Thelin emphasized the importance of staying disciplined and focused in tight games against top-quality opposition. He commended his team for their efforts and performance, expressing pride in their ability to compete against one of the best teams in the league. Thelin recognized the importance of seizing opportunities in such challenging matches and felt that Aberdeen had shown character and resilience throughout the game.
Overall, despite the loss, Thelin remained positive about his team’s performance and their ability to compete with the best teams in the league. He will take the positives from the game and look to build on them in future matches as Aberdeen continues their campaign in the Scottish Premiership.
