“We are not used to losing. You don’t have to raise your head, you have to go down and think about the mistake we made,” the coach indicated at the end of the match, also noting the “lack of contrast in the last third” of Porto. As well as complaining about the “pace and speed” that was lower than expected.

Upon his return to action, which marked the start of preparations for the reception against Vizella, the blue and white coach alerted the team to the fact that no more slips like the one against SC Braga would be allowed.
