Luis Suárez on Sporting v Braga: we were missing something | OneFootball

Luis Suárez was the spokesperson for Sporting after the draw against Braga, two goals apiece, last Saturday, March 7. The Colombian forward was clearly dissatisfied with the result achieved at Pedreira and ended up turning his attention to what remains of the National Championship.

"We leave sad because we couldn’t get the win. Both in the first match [of the first round] and now, the endings were similar against Braga. There are still many games left, but we are focused on winning the next match and going all the way", he began, speaking to Sport TV.

When asked about the drop in the offensive line, Luis Suárez explained: "These are phases of the game. The opponent made things difficult for us. In the second half, in the last 20 or 30 minutes, they attacked more. We were playing well, working hard, and we lost at the end."

Next, regarding missed opportunities, the Sporting forward focused on the team’s fatigue: "The game was very tough. It’s not an excuse, but we have a lot of games in our legs. We lacked physical freshness in the second half, especially when we had the ball," he said, also mentioning Fotis Ioannidis: "I think when he returns, he will help us. But we will fight for this club until the end."

With this draw – the sixth in 41 matches this season – the team led by Porto (65) is in first place, but with one less match played. Benfica is third with 58, also with one game less.
