Benfica B - P. Ferreira get 2nd win in 9, coach: always in control | OneFootball

Nélson Veríssimo explained that Clube da Luz always had the match under control, in Benfica B - P. Ferreira, of Liga 2. The reds achieved their second victory in nine games, which also came consecutively, and at the end of the match, the red coach explained how he saw the game.

"We are all satisfied, obviously, with the result we achieved, the second consecutive victory. But more important – or as important as the victory, because winning is always important – was the richness that today's game had. Two completely distinct halves", began Nélson Veríssimo.

The Benfica B coach then praised the P. Ferreira coach: "Filipe [Cândido] is a good coach, undoubtedly. We prepared the teams based on what we understood would enhance individuality. Filipe certainly did that. In the 2nd half, due to some problems that Paços was creating for us, we adjusted our positioning, but in the 2nd half, Paços also adjusted their offensive positioning. And, at that moment, they created some indecision, some doubt for us".

"That's when we started to be pushed back and it forced us to change our offensive positioning again, in order to equip the team with greater capacity to press forward, have more pressure and exert more pressure on the opposing team. If, from the beginning of the 2nd half until that moment, Paços de Ferreira was creating some problems for us, from then on, I believe the game was always under control", detailed Nélson Veríssimo, about the course of the match.

The red coach concluded with the following: "We had chances to make it 3-1. We are reaching the final third, but then we lack the ability to define better. Anyway, satisfied with the response the players gave, with the response the players usually in the context of team A gave, with a very strong competitive mentality, aiming to gain competitive volume, but also to help the team. It ended up supporting the younger players. Ultimately, being happy with the response the team has been giving, which materialized in the 3 points, which are always important."
