“First of all, I want to congratulate Kaizer Chiefs on their win,” he said.
“We had a very strong first half, but I believe the pressure and mindset of our young players played a part in how the game unfolded. We were clearly the better side before the break. In the second half, the match opened up more as we adjusted our tactics."
The Angolan side coach confirmed that his team switched tactics in the game, but were unable to stop Amakhosi from winning the tie.

“We switched to a system with three defenders at the back and three players pressing higher up the field, which limited Chiefs’ chances early on.
"Ultimately, the match was decided by penalties, and as we know, penalties can be unpredictable, this time, Kaizer Chiefs handled them better than we did.”
Amakhosi supporters disagreed with Bianchi, claiming his team was the better side.
Metse Manyane said:
"This one was watching a different game. Better in the first half when Chiefs missed so many opportunities in the first half that could have ended the contest?"

"Better first half? 👀😂 He means by being dramatic after every foul and time wasting 😂😂."
Bman_Nogqala shared:
"That's a lie; they were better in the second half, not the first half. Why does he make a first-half substitute if they were playing better?"
Hozeh reacted:
"Mxm, they had a simple task. Score one goal and it was done since Chiefs can only score one goal per game. He failed to complete a simple task. They must sack him."
Olebogeng Tsotetsi commented:
"Should have attacked more to win the game, but he decided not to... Or he didn't get the memo...? 🤔"
Lunga_RH added:
"What is he talking about? His keeper fetched the ball from the back of the net 3 times in the first half. Just lucky that the other 2 goals were offside. His team created nothing in the first half."
