Nélson Veríssimo, coach of Benfica, mourned the defeat at the hands of Liverpool to Da Luz in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions League. “The tie is not over yet. Considering the third goal is becoming more difficult. The goal is to compete against Liverpool, recognizing that they are one of the best teams in Europe,” the Portuguese coach told CNN Portugal.
“We tried to explore the weaknesses they had and in a while we succeeded. In the second half we were better than the first after making corrections in half an hour,” he said.
“The players themselves felt that they could get possession. We scored the goal that brought us back to the tie and we were close to scoring the second. Of course, everything gets complicated at 1-3. The board is not closed, but the the goal now is more difficult “, acknowledged Veríssimo.
