Fernando Sá on game 1 final defeat to Benfica: “The stats are clear” | OneFootball

Benfica beat FC Porto 89-73 this Sunday in Game 1 of the Portuguese Basketball League final. After the match, Fernando Sá, coach of the Dragons, analyzed the lack of efficiency shown by the blue-and-whites when shooting.

“The statistics are clear. As in some of our other games, we lacked efficiency. The frustration starts to build up. The gap kept widening and, against Benfica, a team used to these kinds of games, everything became more difficult,” said the coach, as quoted by Lusa news agency. “We have to maintain our offensive and defensive efficiency,” he continued.

“Benfica did not have such a significant offensive output. We were the ones below our normal level, and that hurt us offensively,” continued Fernando Sá, who assured that he is already focused on Game 2, scheduled for Tuesday: “There is no point looking back. We have to work, reflect and adjust so that we come back here on Tuesday with the same ambition. This must not shake in any way what was done throughout the season.”
