Pacense coach Jorge Simão, at the end of the game, was very pleased with the 1-0 victory over Tottenham and gave great praise to his players. “We played a good, consistent game, we improved in the aspects where we didn’t do well in the last game (defeat, 3-0, against Boavista), we were competitive throughout the match and we didn’t fail in the moments that led to the result of the last challenge. . We could have achieved a more extended result despite the abysmal differences between the two teams and the eleven that Tottenham presented today. We managed to improve for the next game and I’m happy for that», said the coach.
The key to the surprising triumph that will leave many thinking about how it happened, even if Tottenham came in with a second line of players, lies, according to Jorge Simão, in the athletes he coaches: «I could be here saying many things but it’s the quality of the players that makes a difference. There are very experienced players here. We have Luiz Carlos, Stephan, the centrals… The victory is due to the players.»
On the second leg, in London, Jorge Simão points out, for now, heats for the championship and a small celebration: «From this moment on, our focus turned to Monday’s match against Estoril. Now, let’s have a little dinner and have a drink to celebrate this triumph.”
