Paulo: The youngsters lived with their chance

Paulo Sousa gave several youngsters the chance to impress and they did not disappoint

Paulo Sousa saw his side beat Lombard Papa in the league cup, semi-final, second leg, to progress into the final with a 4-0 aggregate win. The final will be played in two weeks time, and the manager was pleased with the performance of the young players.

Paulo Sousa: I am very pleased that we have made it into the final. The important factor in today's game was for us to control the game. We managed to do this. We also managed to give young players a chance in the match, and they enjoyed this chance. At the same time it is strange for me, that I feel, that many do not take the league cup seriously. We go out to win every game, which includes the league cup. A series, be it in the league, or cup or league cup, are all competitive games, and this is why we prepare for them in the same way.
