Fernandes emphasized that it's too early to assess the team's progress after their first game of the season.
He highlighted that they conceded a goal from a set-piece in the first half, which seemed to give Arsenal little momentum for the rest of the match.
Fernandes further noted that the team created numerous scoring opportunities but failed to convert them, which is an area they need to improve upon for future games.
He praised debutants Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, expressing confidence in their abilities to contribute positively to the team's performance.
Fernandes sees potential in the new players and believes they will grow and make more significant contributions to the team's efforts.
