Ian Cathro: «At half-time I didn’t feel like the game was 2-0» – Estoril

Despite the rout (4-0) at FC Porto’s home ground, Ian Cathro, Estoril coach, gave credit to the players for the attitude and commitment they demonstrated at Estádio do Dragão.
There was a succession of errors that ended up dictating this result. Analysis of the meeting…
“I agree. Not to mention the previous round, I believe we started well in this game. It’s not easy to come here and show identity and divide the game, put ideas on the field. The players deserve credit for their commitment. At halftime I didn’t feel that the game it represented a 2-0. I believe we were fine.

First pressure line failed?
“Pressure works for several things. We managed to stay in a higher block. We managed to control certain moments of the game and we have to see our reality. We are Estoril, we came to Dragão to play against FC Porto, but we want to be a better Estoril. We want accelerate the process of making Estoril better”

Fair or unfair?
“I’ve already said once that this sounds like bar talk. For tomorrow, it’s 4-0. We have to accept it. But I saw a lot of good things from the team. We’re going to recover quickly and be better”
