Do we feel the liberation?
Good evening, we are very happy with this victory. It's not the match we wanted to play, we were all over the place in the first 90 minutes. We took the penalties well and we come out of here with a victory, that's more important.
Nuno Mendes “anything can happen and we have to be focused. »
How do you explain the difficulty in the game?
Yes, it was complicated. They're a good team on the other side, the pitch was a bit tough. We managed to come out with the victory, that’s the most important thing for us. Now we will rest and come back next year.
Are you going to play a small team in the next round?
It's a cup match, anything can happen and we have to be focused.
