Paulo Sousa saw his side comfortably beat Sporting Lisbon on Thursday evening at the Sostoi stadium
Paulo Sousa: "The most important task together with my coaching staff, was to find suitable tactics and a formation. We achieved this tonight, so I am satisied. Our opponents manager said at the press conference last night, that we have a major strength with our stable defence, and also when we switch from defending to attack. Everything came together well in today's match. Our style of football, and the discipline, the tight defence, from which we hit quick and dangerous counter attacks. We stuck to this and did not allow anything. Our other target apart from this was to try and force our opponents into making mistakes, and to take advantage from these. The fact that we have come this far, is a bonus for the team, as we had targeted the end of the third year to get into the group stage. Now that we are here, I would like us to enjoy every minute of it, but only by being competitive. We saw in certain periods of the match with Genk that we could be competitive, at this high level, and we beat a very good side today. This was a wonderful evening, and the club achieved a very important result. On one hand for the whole of Hungarian football, while on the other for the supporters, who we are very grateful to in the way that so many came out to watch."
