Sousa's reaction to Saturday's friendly

Paulo Sousa: "I am pleased as we managed to draw against a side, which had won three of its four games, here in Turkey. The Belarus match official awarded a penalty at the start of the game, which came after an innocent situation, and this could have influenced the outcome of the match. Things were justified when the penalty went over. Our players did not play with the concentration needed for 5 minutes after that, but got themselves together shortly after. The game became more balanced, and they did not really know what to do with us following that, which the many fouls showed. A few of our players received small knocks, but luckily nobody was seriously injured" summed up Paulo.
