The president of Sporting Braga, António Salvador, said today that the club “demands more” than the football team has presented so far, leaving the conviction of improvement after the stop.

Sexto ranked in the I Liga, with one less game, with the same 11 points as the fifth (Arouca) and the seventh (Academic of Viseu), the bracarenses count only one victory in the last three journeys – homely triumph ‘susual’ over the Estoril Praia (1-0) -, recording a defeat on the ground of the Amadora Star (2-1) and a draw at home of Santa Clara (0-0), performance that does not like the ‘Perreira’.
“Everyone in Sporting Braga, from the president to the partners, we know that this club requires more than what we have presented so far. And I'm not just talking about results, because these are the consequence of the identity we demonstrate in the field. Before the win, this shirt complains of those who burden it with a capacity to compete that is non-negotiable. In the field, we represent a city and a people who ask us for courage, boldness and rigour. That commands us to fight and not want to be unbeatable”, can be read in a note by António Salvador on his social networks.
The minhotos began the season on 22 July, in the first of three pre-eliminations they had to overcome to reach the League Conference league phase, which begins on 15 October, in Denmark, against FC Copenhagen.
“ After nine weeks in a row competing, the FIFA break came at the best time for our group. This is a period to replenish energies, but also to prepare what follows. We finally have time to reflect on what we have already done and anticipate the answers we will have to give in the internal and European tests”, left the leader ‘arsenalist’.
António Salvador also praised “the value of the group and the quality of the squad and the technical team”, and was therefore “convinced” of the improvement of the class guided by Carlos Vicens: “An affirmative team that does not face the fight, and that, even if it does not always win, will be insurmountable in the will and behaviors to win”.
The next game of Sporting Braga is the reception to Sporting, on October 9, on the eighth day of the championship.
