Paulo Freitas after rout over CD Póvoa: “I’m delighted by the attitude” | OneFootball

The two-time national roller hockey champions did not slip up on matchday 24 of the league and beat CD Póvoa 13-3 at Dragão Arena. Reminding everyone that “it’s on the rink that we have to show our favoritism,” Paulo Freitas highlighted a safe and consistent performance and has no doubt that “this is the way forward.” “It’s a solid path, built on work, victories and good feelings,” added the Porto coach.

A well-earned victory“It was a game in which, in theory, we were the favorites, but it’s on the rink that we have to show that favoritism. Above all, I’m very pleased with the competitive attitude shown from start to finish. In the first half there were one or two situations where we could have done better, but that’s understandable given everything else good the team produced. This is the way forward, it’s a solid path, built on work, victories and good feelings. Congratulations to the players, and especially to Tiago Saraiva, who got some good minutes today and helped us. Everyone else helped him as well, and this is the way forward. Focus on the work.”

The contribution of young Tiago Saraiva“I kept telling those coming on that we didn’t have to shape our game around looking for Tiago Saraiva. I understand what’s going through their minds, I was that age once too. He helped us in the defensive process, in transitions and in positional attack, so congratulations to him.”
