Paulo Freitas: FC Porto show spirit despite Sporting defeat | OneFootball

Paulo Freitas makes his debut on the FC Porto bench, after having led Portugal to win the European Championship.

Despite his team's defeat in the semi-finals of the Elite Cup this afternoon, the coach highlighted the players' attitude against Sporting.

“It was a well-contested match, with two good teams, a result that kept changing, moments when we were on top, then Sporting again—these are two great teams. We could have done more during the 46 minutes when we were at numerical equality, but we were ineffective in finishing, although we showed commitment and fighting spirit.”

And he left a promise: “One thing is certain, we leave here stronger and we will be ready in 15 days to play for the Super Cup again against this same Sporting.”
