The stage is set for a thrilling match at Denmark’s Arena Svendborg, where Portuguese team FC Porto will face off against GOG tomorrow afternoon. Coach Jota González has a clear strategy in mind: tighten up their shooting and bolster their defense.
This comes after a narrow 33-31 win in the first leg of the EHF European League play-off. González knows the margin for error is slim. “We need to cut down on attack errors and lost balls,” he says. “They’re lethal on counter-attacks. We also need to boost our defense, particularly one-on-one situations and defending against their attack plays.”
González remains optimistic about their chances. “We know GOG is a tough opponent, but our mindset can help us prepare and get physically ready to take them on.” A win would secure a spot in the quarterfinals, where they’d face German team SG Flensburg-Handewitt on the road to the Final Four.
The stakes are high, but González is focused on the task at hand. “We have to be sharp and ready to take on this challenge,” he emphasizes. With the right strategy and a bit of luck, FC Porto might just find themselves one step closer to the coveted Final Four title.
