We have seen what the demands of such a competition are. And without offending Sporting, who are a very good team, they are certainly not the best team we will face, there will be much better ones in terms of intensity, technique, tactics, in the ability to take advantage of our mistakes… We will have to learn, learn quickly.he continues. It’s a good experience for us, it shows how far we still have to go, it shows that sometimes we may have analyses that are a little too high on our level.”
Despite everything, despite this observation, Bruno Genesio did not want to overwhelm his men: “It’s not in this competition that I’m going to blame my players.
