Vasco Botelho da Costa wants a Moreirense playing to win. In the preview of the match against Benfica, the coach of the "cónegos" expressed his ambition to earn valuable points in the home game against the "eagles". However, he warned that the northern team will have to withstand several challenges posed by the "encarnados".
“We really want to avoid that because we know who we want to be. We want to be a team that plays the same way against any opponent and that was our main proposal,” Vasco Botelho da Costa began in the preview of the match that will take place in Moreira de Cónegos.
“We want to be a team that has the ability to compete for victory in any game. And the truth is that, in the league we play in, particularly against the five big clubs, teams of Moreirense's size are, at the outset, already defeated,” added the coach of the opposing team.
“And we want to work as hard as possible to reverse that, obviously aware of the differences that exist in numerous aspects. Then, we like to look much more from the perspective of opportunity rather than from the perspective of the problem and the difficulty,” stated the Moreirense coach.
“And, therefore, it's a very good sign that any opponent who comes here feels uncomfortable playing at our home,” concluded Vasco Botelho da Costa, in the preview of the match against Benfica. Check here José Mourinho's statements in the lead-up to this Sunday's match, December 14th.
