Rui Borges discussed the meeting between Sporting and RB Leipzig, a game related to the seventh round of the Champions League.
Rui Borges spoke after the duel between Sporting and RB Leipzig, valid for the seventh round of the Champions League. The match ended 2-1.
«Happy with what the team was able to create and do. We conceded two goals in two moments. In the first there was a lack of communication on the right, a lack of marking. In the second we have to be more practical and mature, there are times when we cannot always play fair and well. We started well, after the goal we lost a little confidence, but at the end of the first half we gained clarity. In the second half we dominated the game, we were stronger, we didn’t allow ourselves to create great things. We could have scored more goals, but we didn’t. We were penalized for two specific moments in which we have to be more mature. We didn’t deserve to leave here with zero points», began Rui Borges.
«Extremes? It was a momentary exchange, they have the opportunity to make it. We lost calm after the goal, but we calmed down when we started to create more threes and have more calm to build and then we took the game. We had to understand the space to win the game. In the second half we were more aggressive to reduce spaces in 1X1. Happy with what the team was able to do», highlighted the coach.
-«Entries from Morita and Bragança? It’s important to have everyone and they gave a good response, dynamic and proactive under pressure. Viktor Gyokeres also started very well. Happy to have more people available», concluded Rui Borges.
