Paulo Vinicius: It is important that we did not leave the pitch defeated

The defender played in the second half of Thursday's friendly close to Gibraltar.

"I felt that the second half looked slightly better than the first 45 minutes. We do not put the main importance during this part of pre-season on the result we pick up in friendly games. It is also important that we fought to the final minute and did not leave the pitch defeated. We have been preparing with hard training sessions and we also had a close to two hour training session on Thursday morning. Our legs were a little bit heavy and you could see that in our game. These friendly games are very useful and we can learn a lot from them. Our manager pointed out many important things and he has asked more from us. We will try to make these happen out on the pitch." - commented Paulo Vinicius.
