Trincão frustrated after Sporting draw, but warns: still... | OneFootball

On his debut as starting captain, Francisco Trincão did not hide his disappointment after Sporting’s 1-1 draw against AVS SAD, a result that complicated the Lions’ situation in the league and also the race for second place.

“We’re disappointed, it wasn’t the result we wanted. We created plenty of chances, but we couldn’t score. I didn’t get a good look at the penalty incident, but at the time it didn’t seem like one to me, though I’m not going to talk about that,” he said in Sport TV’s flash interview.

Asked about possible anxiety within the team, the winger dismissed the idea: “It’s normal, because of the result, we really wanted to win, but I don’t believe there was any anxiety. Because we created a lot of chances. But football is like that, it wasn’t fair.”

With second place now dependent on other results, Francisco Trincão remained focused on what is left of the season: “It’s not up to us to think about that, we just have to do our job. We have the games we still have left until the end, so we have to stay focused and prepare in the best way possible, because there is still a title to fight for,” referring to the Portuguese Cup final.
