At the end of the match with Ukraine, which recorded an impressive 6-0 triumph for the women’s team, in the last match of the preparation for Euro 2022, national team coach Luis Conceição praised the behavior of his athletes, however, leaving an important warning.
“It is always important to win, but more than talking about the result, it is important to emphasize how we scored goals. We had good moments of collective organization in more offensive conditions. We managed to score goals, we determined the schemes by how Ukraine behaved in defense. We also had very good moments in defense when we could press high, when we could condition and recover balls in the front line and score goals from there. We knew they would give us the initiative to play ball and build it. When they won the ball and left in transition, it was important to condition and everything went well. It was important to compete with a good team, but they are better than today. It is not easy after all this situation to get together, after some time to stop and start working again. We are happy, but now we can choose different contexts. We cannot be too happy with the result, ”the coach analyzed.
Regarding the fact that Ana Azevedo hit Quinas in the chest in a hundred games, Luis Conceição stated: “We have to congratulate Ana Azevedo. We are very happy with this brand because Ana deserves a lot. For who she is, for being a player and for what she has done for women’s futsal. We hope that he manages to make even more matches, it will be a sign that he is playing and will help us. The years go by, but we don’t find anyone running faster than her. As long as that’s the case, we think she’s in a position to stay here. Nobody beats you, so age doesn’t matter, but competence does. She’s fantastic.”
