On the 14th matchday of the Northern Series of the Under-19 National Championship, the leaders travel to Famalicão (Saturday, 3:00 PM) to face a "aggressive and intense" second-placed team that will require FC Porto to be "humble enough to play what the game demands."
Before the match, Sérgio Ferreira mentioned it as a "moment of growth for the players and the team" and assured that the squad "is ready and will give a good response" in the face of "another high-level challenge." Martim Chelmik anticipated "a game where there will be difficulties," but emphasized that the blues and whites are "preparing in the best way to return with the three points": "We are FC Porto and we enter every game to win, this game will be no exception."
Sérgio FerreiraNo complacency“We approach every game as a new challenge, each game has its own story, each opponent brings different individual and collective implications, so our preparation is very serious and we see each challenge as a new opportunity to win. For that, we have to overcome lines and strive to be a better version than we were in the previous game. This is how we prepare the players.”
FC Famalicão“They are an aggressive and intense team, so it is up to us to take away their time and space so they cannot apply those characteristics. We have to be humble enough to play what the game demands and expose ourselves to what we are good and less good at. We want this to be another moment of growth for the players and the team, but above all to impose our game ideas most of the time, so that everything is more controlled.”
Demand as a stimulus for growth“We are a positive team, open to accepting everything proposed to grow. The players react every day to new stimuli, new challenges, and this is another one with a high level for which the team is ready and will give a good response.”
Martim ChelmikThe opponent“It is another game that will cause us many difficulties, like all those we play in this championship. We will face a very competitive team, with a strong desire to win, and we are preparing in the best way to give a good response and return with the three points.”
