"We need to return and talk to the CEO to decide what to do next."

Next, Chopper was asked if it was considered successful. The captain frankly shared that Spirit's goal is now no longer just passing the group stage:

"Going to the semi -finals or quarterfinals is good, but we need championships. Now that's sad."

Talking about the performance of the whole season, although Spirit has an impressive achievement, Chopper still thinks that the team has not achieved expectations:

"Throughout the season, we only lost three teams, it was okay, but with Spirit it was not enough. We need to win them, we need to show strength and confidence. Sometimes we lack confidence."

Finally, when asked about the possibility of changing the squad next season, Chopper did not answer clearly but emphasized that the decision belongs to the Board of Directors:

"I don't know. Everything in Spirit is decided by the CEO and coach. Maybe I'm not sure."
