It's a very competitive championship, as the opponents have more quality than ever, but there is a growing sense of what the team is capable of. Our players are capable of playing and competing at the highest level in this 2nd League, as we showed in Chaves. Against Portimonense, we want to be an ambitious and determined team, ready to face an opponent that is also very capable,” he began, before analyzing the opponent.

“Portimonense is a 1st League team, clearly set up to fight for promotion. They have the second top scorer in the championship and a team with a physical presence that impacts the game, especially in defensive and offensive duels. It will be a challenging game where we must be connected to our game and our individual and collective roles. I believe it will be a balanced game, but we are ready for whatever the game brings us,” he emphasized.
