Alan Varela: The team knows when to play and when to hold back | OneFootball

Alan Varela analyzed the match between Vitória SC and FC Porto, held at Estádio D. Afonso Henriques. The 18th round of the Primeira Liga ended with the Dragons' victory by 1-0:

«I want to send a lot of strength to Fernando Oliveira's family. Regarding the game, we knew it was going to be a tough match, that we were going to face a great opponent. The atmosphere here is very good. The game was contested, but I am satisfied with the effort. We had to show our grit, we had to fight. We've shown that since the beginning of the season. The team understands how to play, knows when it can play and when it can't. We had to fight. I didn't feel pressure during the penalty, I really wanted to score a goal for the team to win… I was able to contribute to the team, and that's what's important».
