Rui Borges on what went wrong in Sporting – Moreirense: “Nerves” | OneFootball

Rui Borges regretted the goals missed by his team in the Sporting - Moreirense, match, despite considering it normal that the lions cannot always maintain high levels of efficiency. The green and white coach spoke with journalists, in a press conference, after a 3-0 victory against the Moreira de Cónegos team.

"I try to stay as calm as possible to convey this on the field. Until the 70th minute we created a lot, in the first half we were dominant, we were very much in the offensive midfield. The expected goals were very high. It shows what we were capable of doing throughout the game, against a very well organized team", began to explain Rui Borges.

The coach of Sporting continued: "Very strong first half, in the second half we had a momentary unrest of 10, 15 minutes. The changes helped. And we were creating again, until the goals appeared. I couldn't be happier with what the team was able to do".

"Yes, Sporting owes goals, I think we deserved to be winning at halftime, the team had a fantastic capacity", replied Rui Borges, also praising Sporting's offensive ability during the first half of the game against Moreirense.

He concluded, with another response about the missed goals "We don't play playstation, they don't always get it right. I would be worried if we didn't create, but we do, throughout this season, we have a very good goal expectation and above normal. The finish, they will fail, it's normal. It's about encouraging, working, they do a lot of that, we work a lot. But we won't always be able to score many goals. If at 70 minutes they told me 'you're going to win 1-0', I would sign, because it was still a great game from the team".
