Eustáquio was “confident in the team and positive for what's to come” after the tie in Vila do Conde (2-2)
Moments after the final whistle of a game in which FC Porto had "several goal occasions", playing as a "pressing team that recovered the ball high on the pitch and created dangerous situations", Eustáquio was clear in stating that the blue and whites deserved "more" (2-2).
“Confident in the team and positive for what's to come”, the midfielder admits that “a moment of reflection” follows before returning to work to “prepare for a very important game at home”: “We feel the support of the fans. We are going all the way, quiet and working. We are FC Porto. Whoever comes, has to come to help and whoever is already here has to take this forward.”
Only one point
“We went in very well, we had several scoring occasions, we were a pressing team that recovered the ball high on the pitch, created dangerous situations and their goalkeeper made a lot of good saves. Even after the goal conceded, we tried to turn the situation around, we managed to score, we conceded again, we managed to score again and deserved more, but the truth is that we only got one point.”
Confidence in the new dynamics
"We have complete confidence to fully take on the ideas of the coach. We know that the tactic is new, but the focus depends on each one. We look at this change in a positive way, we really want to improve, I think our improvement was visible. I know the fans are fed up with these words, but I remain very confident in my team and am positive for what's to come.”
Back to work
“It's a time for reflection, but we have to get back to work. Tomorrow we are back at Olival to prepare a very important game at home and, now in the end, we felt the support of the fans. We're going all the way, quiet and working.”
The market
“Nico, Galeno, Iván Jaime and Fran Navarro were important players for us, and at the beginning of the season we also lost others like Evanilson and Francisco, but the truth is that we are FC Porto. Whoever comes, has to come to help and whoever is already here has to take this forward. That's what we're going to do.”
The disagreement with Otavio
“It was just a disagreement. I couldn't hear him due to the noise at the stadium, the same happened to him. We dealt with it like men.”
