Miguel Coelho: Great team spirit in FC Porto women's volleyball | OneFootball

"It's true that the result leaves no doubts, but we won't be caught up in this type of result. We know that in a play-off, or in a Portuguese Cup tie, which are the only two opportunities we have to play against Benfica, it's different, it's knockout, and what I want is a full Dragão Arena, a Dragão Arena that trusts the team, that enjoys watching the team play," said Miguel Coelho, FC Porto's volleyball coach, to the newspaper O JOGO, after the clear victory over Benfica by 3-0 [25-16, 25-21, and 25-19] in the Women's National Championship, emphasizing the importance of the players keeping their feet on the ground.

"There is a great spirit on the field, also off the field, which has brought many good things and therefore, I repeat, we won't be caught in situations that are not good for us, you will never hear us say that we crushed an opponent, that we are on top or something like that. We are doing very well, it's true, but we have to be very well again on Tuesday [today], because a new chapter called Sporting is coming, and it's a very tough Sporting, which is having an exceptional championship, only lost twice and will create, once again, many difficulties for us," he warned.

To conclude, Miguel referred to the fans again, giving a curious example: "When we were in a very difficult, delicate position and playing poorly, people did not abandon us. Now it's our turn to give back to them. We cannot forget that when we are down, it's very easy to give up on us, and here no one gave up on us."
