Alan Varela analyzed the match between FC Porto and RB Salzburg. The first round of the Europa League ended 1-0 in favor of the dragons.
"It was a good game, we have to value the effort of the whole team. We will have many games of this type, but we must have strength. We showed that. We faced a good rival. The team's effort was very important and it showed in the end".
"The team is confident, those who arrived helped the team a lot. Last year didn't go very well, but there were changes from the management. We haven't won anything yet, we have to stay united and compete in all competitions".
"Physical condition? I feel good. I highlight the work of the technical team, we are working a lot. The medical team made a great effort to play today. I worked hard to get to the game in good shape. Happy with the result and the team's effort. We didn't play a good game, but we put in a lot of effort".
