After Hull City suffered a 1-2 away defeat to Newcastle United, Hull City manager Sergei Yakievoich expressed pride in his team's fighting spirit in an interview with "Matchday," while noting that first-half performance may have been the decisive factor in the defeat.

Yakievoich said, "I'm very proud of the team and the way they fought. That's our character and spirit. Despite being at St. James' Park, we were the better team in the second half. Unfortunately, we couldn't do that in the first half, and that's probably why we lost the match."

"If we had scored in the first half, we might have gotten a better result in the end. But at least we showed better performance in the second half, and I'm very proud of these players. The defeat doesn't matter. That's football, and anything can happen. We had many chances in the second half but couldn't convert them. Congratulations to Newcastle."

Regarding his team's first-half performance, Yakievoich said, "In the first half, we did almost everything we shouldn't have done, especially defensively. As I said, that's football. We didn't protect the space between defense and midfield well, and Newcastle naturally has enough quality to exploit that. They used that space, and it worked well for them."

On the post-match discussion with Newcastle's coaching staff, Yakievoich explained, "To me, something seemed off. When you look at the opposing bench, there are always three or four staff members standing there. According to the regulations, only one person should be standing in the technical area."

"Sometimes I need to give instructions to the players, but the noise from the crowd is so loud that they can't hear me at all. We're not complaining to the referee; we're just trying to communicate instructions to the players. This is a rule, and we must respect it."
