"One of the best performances of the season so far"

Paulo Sousa was pleased with his side in their 2-0 league cup win over Lombard Papa

We produced one of the best performances of the season so far, and we could have scored three-four goals in the first half. We directed play during the entire course of the match. We played with maturity, and this brought the results. The supporters backed us again until the end, giving us their support, and it had a big part, just like always, in us being successful.

We played in a good tempo game, against a good side, and did not perform with any shame. This was my first game on the manager's bench after a very long time, and I am clear about the mistakes I saw in the 90 minutes. I know what we need to practice, and we will now have a week and a half to correct these in time for the next league match.
