Carlos Vicens, coach of Sp. Braga, speaking in the flash interview after the draw (0-0) with Go Ahead Eagles, counting for the final round of the Europa League. Few opportunities for the opponent «We played against a team that has its weapons and plays well. Our pressure occurred much more in the opponent's midfield than in ours and this prevented us from conceding goals. Part of today’s success lies there.” Lack of dynamics with the ball «With the ball, there was a lack of more dynamics because they were also very aggressive, on a very fast pitch, wet from the snow that fell today and, with their physical size, it was not easy. We have to value the point we achieved, we knew how to maintain emotional stability, we tried not to be affected by the other results.” Merit for the campaign «In the last minutes, we managed the point, with some dangerous approach in which we almost scored. The objective is achieved, 17 points. With the calendar we had and the opponents we faced, it is very worthy. Now, we have to focus on the championship, in a month of February that will be very demanding.” It wasn't a brilliant game «We try to adopt an idea of a game in which the team works hard with and without the ball, that wants to have the ball, with personality and wants to control the games. Then, we play against opponents who allow this more or less, knowing that, at certain moments, we have to know how to suffer because it's part of football. In these 40 games, the team acquired this. Obviously it wasn't a brilliant game, but the team wore itself out, worked as a team to achieve the objective of qualifying directly for the top eight.”
