For example 1-2 days before the match, some players have had symptoms of virus or back pain, so you can’t control that. The fact that someone is unlucky in this piece means that someone else can be lucky. In our roster everyone is ready to play and deserve to fight.

As a coach I want to have all the choices, but I am convinced that with those of us at the moment we can do a good fight, with faith and get the positive result. Misfortune in specific moments, but also the continuous matches that are difficult and intense. “ Rui Vittoria first said and added to her opponent of Panathinaikos:

Sometimes you lose and be sorry, but sometimes you can see the situation as a new opportunity to make a new start to the victories. We work very well with everyone in the club. We have to continue and have faith.

For the situation in which the ‘Green“, The team’s technician analyzed:” There are times when we didn’t get a goal, other times we scored almost all the games. In all groups this happens. We need to be more concentrated, stronger, more active, not more reactionary. Let us already be there when a dangerous situation is created, to wait for it.

We need to score more with the quality we have aggressively, but also improve defensively. Sometimes the attack can score and say in the defense “we did our job, now you do it”. The only way is to work. To be more right. “
