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 second-placed team that is “aggressive and intense,” which will require FC Porto to be “humble enough to play according to what the game demands.”
Before the match, Sérgio Ferreira mentioned that this is a “moment of growth for the players and for the team” and assured that the squad “is ready and will give a good response” in the face of “yet another challenge at a high level.” Martim Chelmik anticipated “a game in which there will be difficulties,” but emphasized that the blue and whites are “preparing in the best way to return with all three points”: “We are FC Porto and we go into every game to win, and this game will be no exception.”
Sérgio FerreiraNo taking it easy“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 treat each challenge as a new opportunity to win. For that, we have to break lines and strive to be a better version of what we were in the previous game. That’s how we prepare the players.”
FC Famalicão“They are an aggressive and intense team, so it’s up to us to take away their time and space so they can’t apply those characteristics. We have to be humble enough to play according to what the game demands and expose ourselves to what we do well and not so well. We want this to be another moment of growth for the players and for the team, but above all to impose our style of play most of the time, so that everything is more under control.”
Demand as a stimulus for growth“We are a positive team, open-hearted to accept everything that is proposed in order to grow. The players respond every day to new stimuli, to new challenges, and this is another one at a high level for which the team is ready and will give a good response.”
Martim ChelmikThe opponent“It’s another game that will cause us a lot of difficulties, like all those we play in this championship. We will face a very competitive team, with a great desire to win, and we are preparing in the best way to give a good response and return with all three points.”
