After the match, Green, while talking to the media, stated that the strategy did not work but he was one of the players who was ‘up for it’ and that it was ‘fun’ to try.

“I don’t think we played forward defensive strategy,” he said. “We implemented our strategy [which was decided] before we left the locker room. So I don’t necessarily think we put the forward defensive strategy. [But our strategy] didn’t work.

“Oh well, we move on. It's ok. I thought it was fun to try. I was actually all for it. Let’s try to see if it works but it didn't [work]. So we move on.”
