Sporting coach clear on Europe: We want to reach the semi-finals | OneFootball

Sporting’s women’s team - which strengthened well for this season - face their first test in the European Cup this Wednesday against Denmark’s Brondby. Already on Danish soil and after an adaptation training session on the synthetic pitch, coach Micael Sequeira previewed the European clash.

“Our commitment is total and non-negotiable. We have to play the Sporting way, with the colours we represent, and be afraid of nothing. We are going to press high, be aggressive, try to control the game and the objective, clearly, is to go as far as possible - in other words, to improve on last season”.

Looking back at last season, the coach made it clear that he has good memories of this competition: “We had an excellent campaign; it was a shame that we lost on penalties at the time, in the match that would have taken us to the semi-finals. So, this year, naturally, the goal is to reach the semi-finals".

"We have to be aware that this involves several stages. We have a very difficult opponent. If we win, we will overcome another obstacle and then take it one opponent at a time. For now, we are focused only on this match and on getting a good result so we can bring the tie back home".
