The statements of Estoril-Praia coach, Ian Cathro, at the end of the Canarinhos defeat at the reception to Benfica (1-2), in a match of the 32nd League.
Analysis of the game: “We lost the game, yes, but the players did a great job. This will probably be one of those days that I will remember during the pre-season of next season. We took another step forward in our growth as a team. The details are to us, but it was an important game in this process.”
About the details of the game: “I think they explored the depth well, because we made some mistakes. But in the second half, we showed a better ability to understand the game. We were able to take more advantage of our energy, we made an important adjustment, we had more ball and we were able to grow inside the game. I’m very happy with the work of players.”
-Substitutions: “We always want to improve during the game – this will always be our attitude. One very important thing: I know there will be a lot of people talking about this game, but please don’t forget to highlight the quality, talent and work of Estoril players. They made a great game.”
Absences: “This only reinforces the value of what Estoril players did. To have a good football game, we need two teams – and today we had a very interesting game.”
Two journeys for competing: “We will try to win the first … then the second. This is how we want to live this moment. The most important thing is that people like to see this team play and talk about the quality of Estoril players.”
