Analysis of the meeting: “We could have scored more goals and left the game more our way. We didn’t make it 2-0 so early and that always leaves the opponent with hope. I don’t agree that we ended up conceding, Casa Pia didn’t cause any danger, they just left us in a low block at times. We were always compact and we were very competent. We had some opportunities to make it 2-0 earlier and that always leaves the opponent with hope, but we did very well.”
Anxiety was not present: “Regarding anxiety, it depends on how we see things. We lowered the block a little, but I didn’t feel the team was anxious at any point.”
Altimira-Silas duo: “Football is like that, everyone makes their own team. Doumbia was good at double pivoting and now he is no longer. Silas was very important even in the matter of balls. Remember that FC Porto won here with a penalty and two set pieces. So we knew that it was also a situation that we had to worry about.”
Focus on Champions: “I’m not worried about any of that. I’m focused on Shakthar.”
