Miguel Coelho calm after Braga loss: “We’ll fight with fans at Dragão” | OneFootball

In a match in which they “were never able to be better than SC Braga in attack numbers” and in which “passing or hitting errors in transition” made it “impossible to play,” FC Porto’s volleyball team was beaten 3-0 in Minho and allowed their opponent to level the League play-off final (1-1).

At the end of the match, Miguel Coelho thanked the “people who go everywhere with the group and fill the Dragão Arena”: “These fans are a very important part of the team. They know we fought, but we didn’t have such a good game. Now we will fight together at the Dragão Arena.”

The defeat in game 2 of the final“In the three sets, we were never able to be better than SC Braga in attack numbers, and they were never able to be better than us in reception numbers, which means they received below expectations and turned all the high balls they had to deal with through block touches or defensive errors. Or else, in the next transition, there was a passing or attacking error, and that way it’s impossible for us to play. If we put them under pressure on the reception line but can’t manage a transition, it’s impossible. SC Braga has attacking weapons; they were comfortable throughout the match because they were able to hit off the block and score.”

The tireless support in the stands“It had no impact because it has been like this since we arrived here. People go everywhere with us and fill the Dragão Arena. These fans are a very important part of the team. They know we fought, but we didn’t have such a good game. Now we will fight together at the Dragão Arena.”
