After a blistering Youth League debut, Benfica boss says: We did our job | OneFootball

On the morning of this Tuesday, September 16, Benfica kicked off their participation in the UEFA Youth League, where they steamrolled Qarabag, by 7-1. In the aftermath of the match, Vítor Vinha, in charge of the team, as well as the under-23 squad, admitted that his players fulfilled what had been asked.

In statements to the press present at Seixal, at the end of the match with the emblem of Kazakhstan, the Portuguese began by saying that the goal had been achieved: ""We accomplished what was our goal, which was to win, and from the moment we realized that we could press the game and we could go in search of another result that's what we did".

"Throughout the game we were also trying to give experience to those who had not yet played in the Youth League and, here and there, we were declining in terms of intensity and will and wanting even more, which ended up being a bit surprising", added the same, in statements to BTV.

About the game itself, the helmsman of the young eagles assumed that the first half was devastating: ""We entered strong and when we realized that we could go in search of another result, with great ability to press high, fast ball circulation, attack to the finishing zones, we went in search of the result and the team had good pace".

"This victory is very important, we have a good draw, but at the same time a bad schedule. We had here an opponent that we did not know so well, with little information about him, even so we entered strong, à la Benfica", concluded Vítor Vinha, coach of Glorioso.
