Expresso Platform: Big Games | Sérgio Conceição: “I have changed my eleven years a little bit because I humbly understand that Sporting de Braga is a good team”

The team fell too low to the ground in the latter part?

“I think it is normal for the match to go. In the second half, there was also an accidental situation where, due to high pressure, we stole the ball and created the danger. I think it was a good match, an excellent match, good publicity for our country, between two teams fighting for the same goal, Which is trying to get first at the end of the tournament. It’s true that we went into the game strong, we understood what Sporting de Braga was doing, and we didn’t let the dynamics of Braga flow in. I think we had three or four chances in the first half and we could go into the first half with another result. I don’t know. Whether Francisco Mora’s show is out of the game or not, it’s the chance Sporting de Braga has had.

The second half was the same, but obviously pressing for 90 minutes is not easy, and sometimes you have to train another way. We went into the second half, again, with great force, and made a few occasions. We understand the area and how to squeeze it and where to do it. We did not allow the opponent to call. We knew the movements of Biazon and Horta and therefore, I modified my eleven a little bit because I humbly understand that Sporting de Braga is a good team and we had to tackle some of their strengths. It was not appropriate in Sporting de Braga, but adapting to one situation or another.”

Taremi no bank

“We played with two strikers, but in terms of space occupation, one is different from the other. Today was different. I hope Matthews [Uribe] Grant freedom to our noon to pick up the defenders of Sporting de Braga. In that sense, he played a great game. Matthews explained exactly what we wanted, because we gave Wendell and Joao Mario the freedom to make the opposing full-backs very high, allowing our three attackers to put pressure on. And then we had Marco [Grujic] Vitina will not let Misrati and Andre Horta call Sporting de Braga in third place. The players always have the ideas, but the players are the players, and they did it perfectly.”

Clinical status of Pepe, Wendell, and Evanilson

“Wendell felt a blow, Pepe, after a blow, felt something in his leg. Evanelson had a touch to the knee. I don’t think it was a very serious thing, but it requires some attention”
