In another friendly, newly promoted Premier League side Sunderland lost 2-1 to Hull City, despite a goal from Atingela. Le Brice said mistakes are an inevitable part of the learning process, and the important thing is to find the right balance between taking risks and playing safe.

In the next friendly match, Sunderland will face Real Betis from La Liga at the Stadium of Light.

Sunderland manager Le Brice said: "I think this pre-season has brought a lot of valuable experience, especially with so many new players joining the team. I feel that the team has shown some progress in many stages of the game. Of course, we have made some mistakes, but that is part of the learning process."

"The key is to find the right balance between taking risks and playing safe. At this stage, we need to keep trying, expand our abilities and really find that balance."

Le Brice pointed out, "Take the decision-making in the final third as an example. By the end of the season, these choices will become more precise and rational, but now is the time to experiment and learn. This will help us to continuously improve. For example, the timing and coordination between crosses and central channels. This kind of tacit understanding can only be cultivated with time."

"We are working hard to improve different aspects of the club, one of which is the players, the other is the coaching staff and the backroom team, and the connection between the two is getting stronger and stronger."

In addition, LeBris also said, "We have high demands on ourselves and we will also place higher demands on the players because this is what our plan and this league require. It is through these experiences that we are getting better step by step."
