João Brandão: “We’ll field a determined, ambitious team” | OneFootball

The competition is back for FC Porto B and, in the 8th round of the Segunda Liga, the team will host CS Marítimo (Sunday, 11:00 AM, Porto Canal) at CTFD Jorge Costa. After watching the players “push themselves to the limit in training,” João Brandão says he feels the team is “prepared and highly motivated,” but emphasizes that on the other side will be a “very competent” and highly competitive opponent. Midfielder Tiago Silva, for his part, assures that the Dragons are “united and confident for the match.” FC Porto sits in 18th place, with two points, while CS Marítimo is in third, with 14.

Preparation for the return to competition“The players dedicated themselves deeply to this week of work. The preparation time is short, but regardless of that, a determined and very ambitious team will take the field. That’s what I felt throughout the week; the players pushed themselves to the limit in training and I feel the team is prepared and highly motivated.”

CS Marítimo“It’s a very competent team with a very competent coach, and that shows in the way they organize themselves on the field. It’s a very competitive team and the one with the most cards in this Segunda Liga, which says a lot, but we are prepared. We have to be aggressive at all times and, fundamentally, be a very balanced team.”

Total harmony between the A and B teams“We really want to win every game; that’s the only way to cultivate the ambition and winning spirit that this Club has. The harmony between the A team and the B team is total, whether in the fluidity of the players or in training dynamics. The interest is common: to serve FC Porto in the best possible way.”
