After starting the National Goalball Championship with a victory over ACAPO-Lisboa (14-4) in Odivelas, FC Porto is preparing to play two matches in the second round: this Saturday, the Dragons will face Sporting (11:30 am) and Castêlo da Maia GC (5:00 pm) at the Foz do Sousa Pavilion in Gondomar.
Fábio Oliveira, captain of FC Porto, anticipated “two very competitive games” against two teams that “have a lot of quality.” Even so, “at a club like ours, we can never shy away from the responsibility of wanting to be national champions and winning all the national titles,” added the blue and white player, who sees “the locker room spirit in an excellent phase.”
Double session in the round“First of all, we expect two very competitive games. Of course, more so against Sporting, which has been the team competing with us for the championship for the past six or seven years. Both teams have a lot of quality, but perhaps Sporting stands out for having a more cohesive squad, though we cannot overlook the quality of Castêlo da Maia.”
About Sporting“They have a lot of offensive quality, they are a team that works very well collectively. We can’t say there is one player who clearly stands out on that team. They have a very good collective and will put our defense to the test, but we will also try to put their defense to the test.”
The demands of representing FC Porto“At a club like ours, we can never shy away from the responsibility of wanting to be national champions and winning all the national titles. This is what we have to think about and this is how we have to enter the field.”
