Maracás: FC Porto are the league’s best, we knew it’d be tough | OneFootball

Maracás, in statements during the flash interview with SportTV, after FC Porto's 3-0 victory over Moreirense, regarding the 26th round of the League:

Reaction to the defeat against FC Porto

“We knew it was going to be a very difficult match, against the best team in the league and one that is at the top fighting for the title. Playing here at the Dragão is always very tough, they start very strong and the two goals we conceded early on really affected the game. In recent weeks, we have suffered with many absences, but that doesn’t justify the result and we have to keep working. We have a very young team and let this serve as a learning experience so that we can achieve other goals in the competition.”

Moreirense stronger in the second half

“I believe FC Porto’s team dropped off a bit, they have the ability, when they are ahead on the scoreboard, not to press as much. The second half was different, we fought and even hit the post. Nothing beats hard work. We want to keep winning until the end, it’s not because we’ve reached 35 points that we’re going to relax. We have to keep working and the results will come naturally.”
