What happened?
F.C. København secured a 3-2 friendly win over AC Horsens on Saturday afternoon, yet head coach Bo Svensson stressed that the side still shows gaps in its play. Svensson said after the match, "there were periods where I thought we were okay, but there is also a lot missing in our game." While the Lions created more chances than the visitors, two went unanswered and ball losses were frequent.
Why does it matter for F.C. København?
The victory offers a morale boost before the final summer test against Viborg FF on Thursday, but the highlighted shortcomings could affect the start of the Superliga season. Svensson noted that excessive ball losses make it hard to maintain control in pressing, and a lack of dynamism may give opponents extra time to reorganise. Such feedback is typical in preparation, as the coach fine‑tunes tactics ahead of official fixtures.
Which areas need improvement?
According to Svensson, possession is the biggest issue. "We lose many balls, and we lack dynamism when we go into our press," he explained. He also pointed out that although three of five chances were taken, two were wasted, indicating that finishing decisions still need sharpening. The coach expects upcoming friendlies to provide a platform for working on these weaknesses.
What’s next?
F.C. København will face Viborg FF in their last test match on Thursday, giving them a chance to trial improvements in pressing and ball security. Svensson promises the squad will focus on cutting ball losses and raising press intensity. Positive progress here would reassure fans eager for a new season with title‑defence ambitions.
Who were the key players?
Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel kept a clean sheet, while striker Kamil Wilczek contributed a goal and an assist. Midfielder Victor Jensen was active in build‑up play, though his passes were often intercepted. These individual performances show talent is present, but overall coordination still needs polishing.
