“ For its quality, Estoril does not belong to the place where it is.”

Aafter the tie with the Vitória de Guimarães (1-1), suffered at the last minute, and the defeats with Gil Vicente (1-0) and AVS (1-0), the latter to dictate the elimination of the Cup of Portugal, the formation of Moreira de Canegos wants to resume the path of triumphs at home of the team 'canarinha', 18.a and last classified, interimly oriented by Sergio Raimundo, after the departure of Vasco Matos, on 15 October.

“ Because of the individual quality you have, it's not a team that belongs where you are. It's an alert, but we have to look at us a lot, how much to grow and evolve. We must win, but not make it an obsession, because the indicators of the past games show more and more offensive capacity, with arrival [in the area]. We want to continue this path”, he said, when designing the Sunday meeting, scheduled for 3:30.

Aware that the relative lack of knowledge of the game system adopted by Sérgio Raimundo, also responsible for the sub-23 storilists, can make the game more “difficult to predict”, Vasco Botelho da Costa proved confident in the performance of his team, namely the defensive sector, which will require reformulation, after the expulsion of Maracas in the challenge of the ‘prove queen’.

“ In the first game of the time, Maracas was punished. Looking at our squad these days, when you don't play a player, we have an almost instantaneous solution. The Moreirense was quite competent in the preparation of this squad. The ‘growth pains’ are normal when we operate changes,” he stressed.

The technician admitted, however, that, when defending, the worms must be “more pressing and aggressive” against previous challenges, even to avoid “being penalized” to the minimum error, as happened in Vila das Aves, with a goal suffered following a favorable lateral launch.

The cycles of games without triumphs, like the one that the ‘axadrezados’ go through, must be looked at by the young members of the squad in charge as an “opportunity to grow” in the way they “read with adversity” and put the “expectatives in place”, he added.

Botelho da Costa also showed satisfaction with the fact that Moreirense reached the three thousand members, as the Vimaranense emblem announced on Friday, having stressed that players work for members “be proud of the team that come in the field” every weekend.

The Moreirense, 12th class of the Portuguese Liga, with eight points, visits Estoril Praia, 18th and last, with two, in departure scheduled for Sunday, at 15:30, at António Coimbra da Mota Stadium, in Amoreira, in the municipality of Cascais, with arbitration of Carlos Macedo, of Braga association.
