Game: “We don’t have to fit the opponent, but we have to adjust. Braga’s connection with the midfielders. A lot of intelligence was needed. We prepared the game well, the players interpreted well. We placed Mateus Uribe in a different space, with Marko Grujic and Vitinha in a different space. high space. Our full-backs always looking for Braga’s full-backs, too. From there, we conditioned Braga well. We created dangerous situations, for Vitinha, at the beginning, then there is a situation with Moura. We always managed to arrive with a lot of danger, the Braga not breathing with the ball. The result was short at half-time, despite Braga’s good work. We rectified some situations at half-time. We started well in the second half. We created more situations in the second half. game, Braga was extended. I remember Horta’s opportunity. We created five, six opportunities.”
Yellow: “What happened? It was a yellow card. It’s a way for the referees to protect themselves. There was nothing. He said it was our throw. The referee gave a yellow card, I thought to protect himself, also to shut me up, but it’s difficult, because I live the game in a passionate and intense way.”
