Othe bracarenses receive the Famalicão on Sunday, on the 10th day of the I Liga, in the second meeting between the two teams in three days, both in Braga, after, on Thursday, the Famalicão have eliminated the ‘arsenalistas’ in the final rooms of the League Cup in the tie for big penalties (3-1), after a 2-2 draw at the end of 90 minutes.

 

“ The advantages and disadvantages [of the teams having recently played] are to both sides. We already knew the Famalicão and they knew us. It's a completely different game, another competition, the other game was to eliminate, we'll try to present different things. We are not in the position we want and we will finish the season ", said.

Sporting Braga also comes from three consecutive losses in the championship and the coach assumed that a team “when it does not win can not be so confident” and that, animally, it is not in the same way as the opponent, but “the best answer” to overcome this state is to return to triumphs.

“The face of one who wins is not the face of one who loses. We players, coaches, structure and supporters are not used to losing and we want to win ", reinforced.

Asked about whether a cycle of four or five days followed to win to begin the desired recovery is considered urgent, he said that his thinking is “game by game”.

“We cannot talk about game cycles. It'll have to be game by game. I liked the competitive side [in front of the Famalicão] and sometimes we won't win by talent, but by competitive hunger, by sweat. It does not seem prudent to think of cycles, but of the three points,” he said.

Franclim Carvalho wants to improve the offensive effectiveness of defensive balances to climb the table, noting that “it is not normal” Sporting Braga have 11 points to the ninth journey: “Our margin of error is increasingly reduced in the I League, but we have to think about the immediate and not do accounts.”.

Vítor Carvalho was a regular holder with Carlos Vicens, taking the central defense position, but he still did not add minutes with the new technician, who said he had the Brazilian player, stressing that he considered it a defensive medium.

Franclim Carvalho also agreed that the reinforcements that arrived at this time in Sporting Braga still did not show their full potential, but extended it to the entire squad.

“False adaptation? It can happen, obviously, because some came from different countries and championships. Frankly, what I think is that reinforcements and those who were here are short of what they can and will give. We have a lot of internal quality and we will demonstrate this more consistently,” he said.

Sporting Braga, ninth ranked, with 11 points, and Famalicão, 11th, with 10, face from 8:30 Sunday, in the Stadium Municipal Braga, game that will be arbitrated by David Rafael Silva, of the Porto Football Association.
