Securas GT lost the first leg of the CL's Quarter finals, 2-1.

The coach admitted having made a mistake on the lineup that costed his team a chance of doing history:

"We made a stupid mistake, missing the timing for changing the line-up. Thanks to that, not only the opposition started the match with a perfect tactic to counter us, but we left out of the match some some important pieces like Dzsudzsák. We had to improvise, and burn a couple of substitutions still on the first half. When we found ourselves down by 2, we finally managed to fit the opponent's formation, and minimize the loss. I believe that, with Dzsudzsak on the pitch we could have scored one of the many free-kicks at our favor, and be in a better position for the 2nd leg."

Saturday the Portuguese team will play the second leg on their home stadium, and have no room for mistake.

"We are not out of the race yet. We'll do our best to learn with our mistakes, and beat the Israeli team in the second leg. And even if we get eliminated, it has been an amazing competition, with the team continuously evolving and surpassing all obstacles. I remember that the initial objective for the CL was passing the stage groups. Here we are still battling the Quarter-finals against a far stronger team. As to the league, we wanted to guarantee a place in next year's CL, and we're in the 2nd place, among stronger teams, still not quitting on the tittle."
