A Welsh expert stated that the decision was made in the interest of the team, emphasizing the importance of discipline and team spirit. Brøndby captain Daniel Wass highlighted that the dressing room fully supports the coach. "Steve made the decision, and as a team, we respect it. Sean and Benjamin are still part of the daily work and training, so I think this is being made into a bigger story in public than it actually is," said Wass. He added that he had spoken with both players: "Sean and Benjamin are good guys, and I had a proper conversation with them." When asked if, as captain, he plays a mediator role between the players and the coach, Wass replied that he does not. "No, I am not any mediator. Steve communicates well with them. The decision has been made, and we respect it, in the interest of the team." His teammate Nicolai Vallys shared a similar view. "You’ve seen they are currently not part of the team, but that’s not something I would comment on. It’s a matter between the coach and the two of them," Vallys briefly stated. Cooper himself further clarified the situation, noting that the door for a return is not closed: "All players are in contention. They are members of the club and, unless injured, can play. However, it is my responsibility to make decisions that are best for the club, the team, and the next match," concluded Cooper. The match between Brøndby and Nordsjaelland will be played tonight, starting at 7:00 PM.
