Sporting boss demands response against Braga: we weren't up to scratch | OneFootball

Micael Sequeira wants a reaction from Sporting’s women’s football team in the very next match, against Braga. The Lionesses were defeated 3-2 in the last round of the BPI League, and the green and white coach wants to see a response already in the next game, against a traditionally tough rival.

The coach of the Sporting women’s team made statements to the official channels of the Alvalade Club, previewing the Lionesses’ next match, against Braga, which is part of the sixth round of the national championship, and recalled the challenges ahead, not forgetting the defeat in the last match.

"Especially in the last game, we were not at the level that everyone expected and that we should deliver during matches, but that’s already in the past. Now we face a tough opponent, which is Sp. Braga, but we are Sporting, we have to react and we have to go after the win in this game," Micael Sequeira began by explaining.

The Sporting coach continued: "They are a very well-organized team, with good players, they have a strong collective and require from us a day of inspiration, of attitude, because otherwise it will be difficult. We have to be able to impose our game, be a strong team collectively and show great commitment in terms of attitude and physical and mental freshness."

Sporting’s women’s team will be missing some key players for the match against Braga. Among them are Georgia Eaton-Collins, Joana Martins, Miri O’ Donnel, Samara Lino, and Constança Maia. Andreia Bravo is in the final stages of recovering from a serious injury that kept her off the pitch for eight months, but according to the Alvalade Club, "she is not yet fit to return to competition."
