“Moreirense is far from being a finished product”

Aafter returning to victories in the field of Estoril Praia (3-1), the minhota team, 10th ranked, with 11 points, receives the formation ‘tricolor’, 12th, with 10th, which remains “very competent and strong at all times of the game”, despite the desires mentioned in the three previous rounds.

“ At the statistical level, it's the strongest counterattack team, but it's not a team that plays only in counterattack. It's a team with different dynamics under construction. We have to be able to interpret. Despite having advanced players with quality, we see a team that rarely disorganizes. It will be a very tactical game”, he said, in the forecast conference.

The 37-year-old coach rejected, however, that the game will be “closed”, in the sense of “there are fearful teams”, but admitted that the set trained by Pepa can give men of Moreira de Canegos a lot of work to create goal opportunities.

“ Good teams see each other when they force their opponent to do a lot to be able to attack. I put the good teams on this level. So are we. There is the conditioning of playing at home, where the absence of space makes the game more closed than other stadiums. We want to do our best to bring joy to our followers,” he added.

Confident that Moreirense is in the “right way”, the ‘timneiro’ emphasized that its players are focused on “increasing consistency within each game”, with the notion that it was not the “worst” when they went through a cycle of three games without winning, with one of them dictating the elimination of the Cup of Portugal, against the AVS (1-0), nor “are the best now”.

Vasco Botelho da Costa stated that the Vimaranense team is still “very far from being a finished product” and that “there are no guaranteed places” among the owners, regarding the return of Captain Maracás to the options, after fulfilling a suspension game in the previous round, in which Gilberto Batista, 22 years old, and Kevyn Monteiro, 21, formed the axis of defense.

“ Logically, [Maracás] is a very important player for us. What Gil [Batista] and Kevyn [Mountain] did had already shown on the first journey. When I say we have good and different solutions, the Moreirense wins ", signaled.

The Moreirense, 10th ranked of the Portuguese Liga, with 11 points, receives the Estrela da Amadora, 12th, with 10, in departure scheduled for Saturday, at 15:30, at the Stadium Comndador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas, in Moreira de Cónegos, in the municipality of Guimarães, with arbitration of João Pinheiro, of the association of Braga.
