Proud. This is Pepa’s sentiment with the Paços de Ferreira exhibition in Alvalade. The defeat (0-2) with Sporting, underlines, in no way pinches the good game of Badajoz against the leader of the League.

Pride in what the players did. Happy on the pitch, true to our identity and unhappy with the way we fit the goals. We seek happiness from the first to the last minute. We controlled the depth and breadth of Sporting very well, we lacked effectiveness in the last third. We had opportunities to score but we couldn’t. It was a good soccer game. There are no moral victories, we want to win, but we play here with a lot of personality and courage. We cling to our identity and our ideas, today we are not happy, congratulations to Sporting for the victory, “he analyzed in statements to Sport TV.

Referees reply during the game: «It’s part, it’s the heat of the game. I have seen the penalty shootout. What can we do? I’m not going to stay with that. We had 80 minutes. We control the game, not the decisions of the referees. They are there to decide, badly or well they have to decide, and it is not easy. We have to go after the game, we did not succeed but we tried. And when that is the case, we will win many times over. “

Paços de Ferreira had not lost to the League since Matchday 9 (1-2 with Benfica, in Luz).

“If we look at that defeat and this one, the team was the same in the way it approached the game and sought victory. We were like us ”, praised Pepa.
