Portugal: Ferreira Laura, number 9
- Hi Laura, you played an incredible match, you scored 30 points. What do you think about your performance? And about your team?
I did well because we played all together and this is very important; we defend together, we think alike because we understand each other well. - Do you think that your team, Portugal, will be able to win a medal in this Universade?
We aim to work harder and harder in order to achieve good results on the basketball court. If we win a medal as well, then so much the better, but we aim to do our best. - A question about hospitality: what was your first impression about Naples? Is this your first time in Italy?
Yes, it is my first time in Italy and in Naples, I think it is a very nice city. When we arrived at the airport, they were all waiting for us, but the weather is really hot (laughs).
