Pepê: “We didn’t have a good first half” | OneFootball

Pepê, forward for FC Porto, said in the flash interview with V+ after the 2-1 victory against Moreirense:

FC Porto fell short in the first half

«It's a very positive result for us. [Moreirense] is a team that hadn't lost at home until now, and they have been having a great season. We knew how difficult it would be to play against them, but I want to highlight the team's effort. We didn't have a good first half, but in the second half, we were determined in achieving our objectives during the game. The players who came off the bench contributed positively, and thank God we managed to get a great result here today.»

Group cohesion is crucial for goals

«We are very united, and that is very important. I think it's fundamental for achieving our objectives throughout the season. So we need to maintain this, keep working, stay united and focused because there is still a lot ahead. But we have to approach each game as if it were a final for us.»

Reaction to the Europa League setback

«These are atypical games where we couldn't come out victorious. We know we can't win every game, but we remain focused on our work, on what the coach asks, and on our daily efforts. We came here to get the result and secure the three points.»
