“I think that I am pleased. It’s to be expected that there are some lapses in the final stages of the match, but I don’t like it. We have to accept that the opponent can play and they showed their qualities. I think that, gradually, through training and matches, we need to regain our level. I’m happy, I think we started the match in the best possible way with our style of play and our desire to score goals. I believe we deserved this victory. It’s always difficult to play away, especially in this stadium, but I think we deserved this win.
João's hat-trick? It’s not just his three goals but the way he scored them. It’s incredible. I think it’s an aspect of his game he can improve, that he should improve and I believe he will improve it.”
“I’m very happy with the victory, that’s the first thing. And scoring my first hat-trick, I’m really pleased with that. It feels great to score three goals in this match. We played well, but I think there are still things we can improve. In the final part of the game, we conceded two goals, and that’s not what we wanted, so we’ll work on improving certain things. My overhead kicks? I’m happy with them, it’s something I practice in training and it paid off in the match!”
