"We had some difficulties on a tough field where the ball bounced a lot, but we tried to play our game and we're still in the pre-season phase. We are growing, creating some routines with many new people, so it's normal that we're not at our best yet, but we'll get there. This year we have players with different characteristics and until we create those habits it will take a little time and we'll have to make mistakes, but we're here to grow. In terms of competitiveness and aggressiveness, Spanish teams are above Portuguese ones, so this was a good test for us. I thank the fans for coming and I hope to count on them for the rest of the season. I know they will respond to the call," said defender Ema Gonçalves at the end of the match held at the Ciudad Deportiva de A Madroa.
