Sporting put on a show in Europe, manager applauds: A great match | OneFootball

Still, the Sporting coach warns about the second leg, despite the 3-0 in the first match

The Sporting women's football team defeated Rosengard 3-0 in the first leg of the second round of the UEFA Women’s Europa Cup. At the end of the match, Micael Sequeira analyzed the match and said he was very proud of the performance of the Alvalade Club.

“The players were absolutely fantastic, they played a great game, they managed to dominate all moments, we defended when we had to defend and with the ball we were more effective than we had been, especially in the last game against Vitória de Guimarães. When that's the case, all that's left is to congratulate the entire working group, all the staff, the entire structure that has been supporting us a lot. It was an excellent game,” he began by saying to the leonine media.

The coach thanked the fans present in Alcochete: “Overall it was a great game, the fans were also very important because they showed up and their support was spectacular. We felt the affection, we felt the strength of the fans, the players transcended themselves and managed to do what we have been doing. When that's the case, overall it's fantastic. Congratulations to the entire working group, to all the players, as they were fantastic, in line with what Sporting is and the path we have to follow,” he said.

The coach praises the players' performance: “These are successive games, but playing every three days is very good for the team's production, because the best training is the game and by playing every three days the team will reach much higher levels and, therefore, we must continue at this pace. This is the pace we want, to play every three days, to win, to play well, and we are very satisfied.

Still, Micael Sequeira warns about the second leg: "We have to be aware that we are at halftime of the tie. It was only the first half, in Sweden it's a synthetic field, also a difficult environment, it requires us to keep our feet on the ground. Go in confident, but not relax, because otherwise mistakes will appear and concentration will drop," he concluded.
