Borja Sainz: “We’ve worked hard all week and we’re ready” | OneFootball

Borja Sainz was present at the press conference with Francesco Farioli to preview the Utrecht–FC Porto match, scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, at 5:45 PM. The Spanish winger for the Dragons assured that the team “worked very well” throughout the week and considered that another demanding game is approaching, just like the previous Europa League match against Nottingham Forest.

During the conference, he stated: “The team is doing well. We’re coming off a win against Sp. Braga in a tough match, and we worked very well during the week.”

In the last game you started as a substitute and ended up making the difference against Sp. Braga. Do you think you’ll be in the starting eleven tomorrow? “I don’t know, those are decisions for the coach. But I believe that both those who start and those who come on are important. That’s something the coach and the technical staff make clear, and I think we can see that every time someone comes off the bench, they also add something. That’s a good sign for the team.”

The most recent result in the Europa League wasn’t what you wanted. Do you feel that gives tomorrow’s game even more importance? “It was a defeat and we don’t like that, and I think tomorrow will be another tough game. We worked during the week and the team is prepared.”

You went through a period of less successful matches. Did the goal you scored against Sp. Braga serve as a response to the doubts about you? “I work every day to do what the coach and the technical staff ask of me, and what matters is what the team does. I’m not going to give much importance to that because that [the criticism] isn’t what drives me. I don’t think it’s important. In the end, I focus on the team.”
