Portugal National Team Coach

Ricardo Tavares, National Coach, in direct speech:

" This tournament, with the teams we have here, is a tournament with great adversity, which means that we always have very difficult games.

We were lucky to play with national teams, all of them very different, with an American, a Mexican, a European one and now we are playing with one of the best Asian teams. It's always good to compete at this level.

With regard to our National selection, what we saw was a growing quality throughout the tournament. We know that when we represent the FPF, the ultimate goal is to win, not being able to win the tournament, what we did was give our best. The girls did very well in terms of commitment, when there was a lack of technical-tactical competence, the part of the heart, soul and desire was never lacking and I think we can count on this working group to grow, develop and bring joy in the future."
