Ex-Benfica delighted with Portugal win but insists: room to improve | OneFootball

Kika Nazareth was the standout player in Portugal’s win away to Latvia (3-0), having been involved in all three goals scored by Francisco Neto’s side. At the end of the match, the former Benfica player said she was pleased with the result, but pointed out that the Portuguese team can do much more in the future.

“The goal is always to win. There is a lot of room for improvement and we can do much better,” said the young Portuguese footballer in comments to Canal 11 after the match played in Latvia. According to the former Benfica player, the Navigators can reach other levels in the near future.

“At the level we are at, I think we could have left here with a much more convincing win, with more goals scored. It’s about working ‘on top of the mistake’ — in quotation marks because we still came away with the win — and already thinking about the next match, in Slovakia,” added the Barcelona player.

“Whether I had a really good game? That’s relative… [smiles]: the goals were well taken, yes. But in terms of overall play, you already know that I’m very demanding of myself and I know I can do much more individually,” admitted Kika Nazareth, after contributing two goals and an assist for Tatiana Pinto’s finish.

“I was lacking a little bit of confidence, I don’t know why. I’m very positive, within this negativity, and I’ll try to look at the good things for the next match,” concluded the Portuguese international, one of the most beloved names in Benfica women’s football, in comments to Canal 11 after the national team’s victory.
