Carlos Vicens, winning coach of the second semi-final of the League Cup, this Wednesday, says he is “very happy” with the 3-1 victory over Benfica. He sees the victory as a “prize” and says he will start preparing for the final “on the bus”. Game analysis «There are no secrets in football. The important thing today was to play the game being ourselves. That's what we've been talking about over the last few days. One of the bittersweet things I felt in the second half of the game against Benfica at home was that, for a moment, we stopped being what we are. Today it was important that this didn't happen. We knew there would be many difficulties and we needed to have courage.” «It is impossible to play against Benfica and not have moments in the game where the team has to come together and know how to suffer. Impossible. We experience the same with them and with other highly difficult opponents that we have faced throughout the season. You can't do that without scoring first. And you have to have attacking moments again to plant yourself in the final third. You can't survive 30 minutes in your area against a team like that. It was a message we tried to get across through the bank. In the second half we were able to have the ball. Today is a reward for all the work we've done over these months. I am very happy.” Final against V. Guimarães «It is doubly special, due to the rivalry between the two clubs. Now it's time to recover well, prepare well and face Saturday's final with great enthusiasm. It will be a special match because it is my first final with Sp. Braga and because it is with the opponent that it is.” Preparation for the final «We will have to start working on the bus [risos]. Some give food, others give massages and I watch games. We know we have little time. It’s not an advantage at all for us, but it’s true that we’re used to it.” Rodrigo Zalazar man of the match «He played a very good game and it would require a lot of effort, also without the ball. He applied himself, was supportive and worked for the team. Happy with what you give us and appreciate that you know it is important for the team to work. If we work for the team we are better. Today was a collective victory, more than ever.” Prestianni's entry on Ricardo Horta «Well, the move with Ricardo I didn’t see repeated. I know he had contact in the ankle area, more or less. The boys who saw it asked for a red card. I can't comment on the play, because I didn't see it. Luckily, Ricardo is fine.”
