Joel Rocha: “We will go to the fifth match! We do not give up anything”
The coach of Benfica praised the supporters, the capacity the team showed in the second half and believes in the title in the 5th match.
“Our supporters were relentless from the beginning whistle as we had requested. In the toughest moments, they gave us their support. A first half far below our expectations and what we need in a final. Sporting was superior and the result was fair at half-time. We corrected, we scored the 3-4, we conceded the 3-5, we did not give up, we did not stop. We went looking for the equalizer and we did it. In the penalty shootout, we were unlucky. We will go to the fifth match! We do not give up anything”, he said to BTV.
Raúl Campos regretted the poor luck in the penalty shootout but showed the same belief as the coach.
“It is hard to lose in the penalty shootout after having all on our favor and in front of our supporters. I am sure we will turn things around and win there”, he said.
