“Zarya often created moving moments”

Braga coach Carlos Carvalhal summed up the victory over Zorya (2: 1) in the Europa League.

– Today we started the game as planned, we managed to score two goals quickly and then we played with the result. It was good to fight in the air, riding won balls. After scoring goals we played more often, but the team showed strong character, which allowed us to bring this match to its logical conclusion. The only thing we missed in the end was an unwanted ball.

Today it was very important to adhere to the strategy we have in mind for this match. So we look to the future with optimism.

– Are there times when Zorya deserves praise?

– Yes, Zorya has very good control of the ball, there has always been a large group of players in attack, who often created sharp moments. It was necessary to play with an opponent so as not to miss the impending attacks. In terms of tactics, Zorya played exactly the same with Leicester, and with us, in fact, this is the game that we prepare so hard for.

– Today’s group results: Leicester and Braga’s victory means that it is already decided who will qualify from the group.

– No, nothing has been decided yet, each team has four games ahead. We need to earn points to get out of the group safely. So far nothing is clear, we still have fights.
