Porto coach after a coup and a 2-1 triumph over Pacos de Ferreira at the Dragão stadium.
Praise for the attitude: “We had a draw during the break and I was satisfied with the team, which is not very normal. Sometimes we win, but I’m not very happy. This means that from the first second until the end of the game we didn’t play. ” We were a team with good ball possession, within the framework of what we prepared for the game, at an excellent level. We created a lot of situations, the players had an above average competitive attitude. When this is the case, even if we have not won, the players get great satisfaction. They perfectly understood the preparation for the game, we must congratulate the players who made a great contribution to this victory. “
Strategy: “Don’t make recommendations. Many exchanges of positions, many exchanges without giving links, we knew that the work of the Passo wings is important because they accompany the defenders a lot. In this mobility, in this accessibility, they had the secret of creating opportunities against the very closed “Pass” and backlog on the field. This is totally normal. We had to predict it and try to fix it, I think we did it well. “
Changes in the light of Liverpool’s game? “It has nothing to do with it. I was looking through the press and they were trying to decipher who was most wrong with Liverpool, who had a contract or not, talking about football, not football, they could talk about FC. Porto were going to promote in the game what they were going to use in Pacos de Ferreira. [estavam] Talking about football, the most important thing for people. Not about football, because they don’t understand much about football. This is not a punishment for anyone, they saw the joy of the bench when we scored goals, and I believe that even those who were not on the bench, who were at home, were delighted, because we are one group, a strong group. You can count on us. “
