Analysis

"We are in a complicated situation. We can't fall behind Porto for 7 points, so if you want to say, losing 1 point is probably the best result.

Even me, sitting on the bench, feels that I'm not ready to take the risk of winning, and on the court they think the game is in their hands because we can't lose. They may lose, but in such a tough series, it's crucial not to lose.

Other of our opponents, Portugal Sports, plays The team has been in a more difficult situation this weekend, but in the end we have completely defeated the opponent. We stand here and we live. "

To some extent, your team has shown some maturity...

Porto's changes

" William and Pepe are different players; he is good at attacking, shooting, and scoring. He seized Dahl's chance after 70 minutes, and I ended up protecting Dahl with Thomas Araujo. In addition, Thomas has the right foot ball , the inside defense is better. Luke Bacchio is no longer possible. I could have taken any risks, but he doesn't feel comfortable.

could have made an offense and defense conversion. I sent Balero to compress the formation and help Dedic. The only player who was sick today was Ivanovic. I could have considered attacking and replaced Pavlidis, but I didn't want to take risks.

He (Ivanovic) is the only player who was injured today. "Can 4 points fall give the team the time it takes?

"The team is growing. We have had two very tough games this week. We were well organized in both games. Porto has strong physical fitness and motivation to make deep attacks, but we lack those traits. Orsnes and Sudakov are both offensive players. We have the chance to score goals and win games."

Did the game performance at Dragon Stadium match your expectations?

"Of course, perfect, no problem."
