Bragança wants no excuses at Sporting: I know it's hard, but... | OneFootball

Daniel Bragança was decisive for Sporting in the 29th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The midfielder scored the only goal in the Lions’ victory over Estrela da Amadora and was named man of the match. At the end of the game, however, he issued a few warnings.

At first, the 'number 23' was asked whether, when the pressure is on, he tends to step up and decide games: "No, when it’s not me, there are others who do, that’s football. We have many players who have already decided plenty of matches; the important thing was the three points in a very complicated game."

As for the fact that it was a difficult match for Sporting, Bragança did not accept excuses: "It wasn’t very well executed by us from start to finish. I know it’s hard to play every three days, but we are at a big club and that is the level of demand placed on us, and that is the level we have to be at, having to win every three days. Sometimes it happens, and today was a less accomplished game. It’s important to highlight the effort, and it’s important to win when you don’t play well, and that’s what matters today."

"The team felt the wind a bit in the first half, but that is no excuse. It was a difficult game, Estrela fought well, the weather was tough, but we got the three points, and that’s the most important thing," concluded the green-and-white midfielder.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Daniel Bragança - valued at 10 million euros - has four goals and one assist in 15 matches, also contributing to the team’s attacking play. In total, he has been on the pitch for 475 minutes.
