With a 3-0 triumph that keeps FC Porto in the sole lead of the volleyball league, now with 29 points, Miguel Coelho described the result as “a good victory” in a “perfectly controlled game,” although he pointed out that there wasn’t “enough care with simple balls and that is not justifiable.”
“I liked our serving a bit more because it always landed in the right place, I liked how we blocked, but the lack of care we had with simpler balls disrupted us in transitions,” explained the coach, satisfied with the “many solutions that appeared” during a “week of four games.”
The details that need work“We came from a double matchday and yesterday we had a 3-2 where I ended up liking the game, not because we lost two sets, but because we were ahead in four sets, which is important because it showed our superiority. Yesterday it was 3-2 and I was happy, today 3-0 and I’m not as happy due to Vitória SC’s aces and the errors in transition after dead balls. We didn’t take enough care with simple balls and that is not justifiable.”
The positive takeaways“We have to be prepared to play at a high level and, for that, we need to be flawless in the simple things. I liked our serving a bit more because it always landed in the right place, I liked how we blocked, but the lack of care we had with simpler balls disrupted us in transitions.”
Four games in a week“It’s a perfectly controlled game, a good victory in a week in which we had four games – Colégio Efanor, Galatasaray, Leixões, and Vitória SC – so many solutions appeared, people showed what they can do, and that’s good.”
