Miguel Coelho: “We fully deserve to finish top” | OneFootball

FC Porto secured the leadership of the regular phase of the Women's 1st Division National Championship by defeating CD Fiães 3-0 at the Dragão Arena on Thursday, in a delayed match of the 18th round.

After witnessing the victory "with ease and playing well," Miguel Coelho admitted to being "happy" with the performance of the Porto team and assured that the leadership is justified: "We fully deserve to finish first because we were better than the opponents in the regular phase," declared the coach after the match to Porto Canal.

Consistent performance and clear triumph“We won with ease and played well, causing damage to CD Fiães with our transitions, something we had worked on in recent days, as we weren't happy with that from the last game. In the third set, I wasn't as pleased because we were too cautious. We need to take more risks because our team is very physical. We have many opportunities to attack more often, hence why I didn't like the third set as much. It was a good game on our part, and I am happy with the team's performance.”

Championship and Portuguese Cup“The first goal was to be in the Final Four of the Portuguese Cup. Then, the championship goal becomes weekly, and we fully deserve to finish first because we were better than the opponents in the regular phase. For now, we have AA São Mamede on Sunday, and every game is important at this stage of the season. Then we will think about the semi-final of the Portuguese Cup against Colégio Efanor.”
