Alan Varela: The team knows when to play and when to hold back | OneFootball

Alan Varela analyzed the match between Vitória SC and FC Porto, held at the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques. The game of the 18th round of the Primeira Liga ended with a 1-0 victory for the Dragons:

“I want to send a lot of strength to Fernando Oliveira’s family. About the game, we knew it was going to be a tough match, that we were going to face a great opponent. The atmosphere here is very good. The game was hard-fought, but I’m satisfied with the effort. We had to show our grit, we had to fight. We’ve shown that since the beginning of the season. The team understands how to play, knows when we can play and when we can’t. We had to fight. I didn’t feel any pressure with the penalty, I really wanted to score a goal so the team could win… I was able to contribute to the team and that’s what matters.”
