Benfica coach commented on the 0-2 victory against Nacional, in the delayed match of the eighth round of the Championship
Bruno Lage, Benfica coach, in an interview with Sport TV’s Flash Interview, shortly after the Eagles’ 0-2 victory over Nacional.
[Jogo que começou há algum tempo e no reinício o Nacional entra bem]
«Yes, Nacional started with a throw, and the ball stayed there, but I like to look at the game as a whole. It’s a victory on a difficult field, Nacional did well but what we did and the opportunities we created, we could have finished with more goals but I want to highlight the performance of the team that created many opportunities.
[Vitória frente ao Nacional é uma reação?]
«I don’t call it a reaction, because a reaction is when things are negative, here it is a consequence of our work. What I said yesterday at the press conference is that in the game there are still moments where we have to improve and we are working. We are satisfied with the team. The team performed well with personality and it was important that we finished with three points.”
[Há um crescimento da equipa, é já o Benfica que o Bruno Lage quer ver?]
«It’s getting closer. Every moment and every training session, game, that’s it, we analyzed the past game and realized the spaces to be explored in a similar game and the team managed to respond, we were in a difficult field, we controlled the game with the ball, we are satisfied but we have to keep evolving , it’s only been three months of work and I feel like we have room to evolve.”
[Terminar o ano em primeiro lugar]
«Our target is to look at the next game. We already have a very important game in which we have to play with the same personality, at home and our objective is just to look forward to the next game. We have to win with a great performance and score goals.”
