Former Benfica man revels in 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, although she 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 victory, with more goals scored. It’s about working 'on top of the mistakes' – in quotation marks because we came away with the win – and already thinking about the next game, in Slovakia", added the Barcelona player.

"Did I have a good game? That’s relative… [smiles]: the goals were well taken, yes. But in terms of overall play, you already know that I am 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 missing a little bit of confidence, I don’t know why. I am very positive, within this negativity, and I will try to look at the good things for the next game", concluded the Portugal international, one of the most beloved names in Benfica women’s football, in comments to Canal 11 after the national team’s victory.
