At the end of the match with Ukraine, which scored an expressive victory for the women’s team, 6-0, in the last preparatory match before Euro 2022, national coach Luis Conceicao praised the behavior of his athlete, leaving, however, an important alert.
“It is always important to win, but more than talking about the result, it is important to emphasize how we achieve the goals. We had good moments of collective organization in more offensive terms. We managed to score goals, and we were defining the tactics according to the way Ukraine behaved defensively. We also had very good defensive moments, we were able to press high, we were able to adapt the balls and steal them in our front row, the goals came from there. We knew they were going to give us the initiative to play and build the ball. When they won the ball and left in the transition period, it was important that Things are adjusting and going well. The important thing was to compete with a good team, but they are better than they were today. It is not easy, after all this situation, to get together after taking a while and start working again. We are satisfied, but From now on we can capture different contexts. We can’t get too excited about the result,” the coach analyzed.
As for the fact that Ana Azevedo has hit a hundred quinas, Luis Conceicao stated: “We have to congratulate Ana Azevedo. This brand makes us very satisfied because Anna deserves so much. As for her personality, it is for the player and for what she has done for women’s futsal. Hopefully he can play more games, that will be a sign that he is playing and that he will help us. Years have passed, but we don’t find anyone running faster than her. As long as that’s the case, we think she’s in a position to stay here. Nobody gets ahead of you, so age doesn’t matter, but competence does. It’s a great.”
