"This score tells we have a difficult mission ahead."
Idman.biz reports that Braga head coach Artur Jorge said this at the press conference held before the match against Qarabag in Baku in the UEFA Europa League playoffs.
The coach of the representative of Portugal, who lost the first match with a score of 2:4, said that in any case, they will go to the return game with great desire: "We will try to change the situation according to ourselves."
- How important is this game for you?
- No, this match does not solve anything. Our team recently won the Portuguese Cup. We can continue our success without passing the stage. We are not able to win all the games. The season is not over yet. There is time to win. Every player of Braga must fight for victory. But it is impossible to do it in all matches.
- To move the game to extra time tomorrow, you need to score two balls against the opponent. This is not impossible for Braga. But how to play for this?
- I completely agree with you. There are many requirements. It is very important that they enjoy the field. After the last match, the players said in the dressing room that this is not the end. We can change the outcome.
- Are all plans planned to call the stage? Or is it enough for you to win with a minimal score difference?
- First of all, thank you very much for your hospitality. We really want to win tomorrow's match. A strong opponent awaits our team. Our main goal tomorrow is to pass the stage.
- The reason you lost to Qarabag was the 0:5 defeat to Sporting in the national championship before this match, or did you not take the champion of Azerbaijan seriously?
- No, our conceding the first goal was the key moment of the game. It was very important that Qarabag beat us in that game. But at the current stage of the competition, it would be wrong not to evaluate any competitor. We recognize Qarabag as a strong competitor. There are also strong players in the team.
- Qarabag defeated you tactically in the away game. What rotations do you think you should do to excel in the match in Baku?
- Qarabag was superior in the first game. Especially in the second half, there was a certain period where my team lost its head. But in tomorrow's match we have to be careful from the first second to the last.
It should be noted that the match between Qarabag and Braga to be held tomorrow will start at 21:45.
