João Brandão: “We head to Matosinhos eager to bag all three points” | OneFootball

This Saturday, at 6:00 PM, FC Porto B will travel to Estádio do Mar to face Leixões SC in the 13th round of the Segunda Liga (Sport TV6). Previewing “a match with a high degree of difficulty” that will require “a very competitive team in the different phases of the game,” João Brandão emphasizes the “desire to secure all three points” and reinforces that “whoever steps onto the pitch will do so with the goal of winning the match and representing the values of FC Porto.” Prepared to face “an opponent that fights from the first to the last minute,” defender Dinis Rodrigues states that “the team is very united” and that “the goal is to give everything to come away with the three points.”

Carlos Fangueiro on the opposing bench“It is traditionally a difficult ground for FC Porto, a team that now has a coach who is a son of the club, deeply familiar with the reality and needs of Leixões, so we expect a match with a high degree of difficulty. We want to compete and be very consistent throughout the entire game, knowing that we are a strong and competent team when we are very connected, regardless of the opponent’s ability. We have already shown this in the recent past and we want to show it again now, because we are going to Matosinhos with the desire to secure all three points.”

At home or away“Our values as a Club and our playing principles must be present regardless of the context, no matter which ground or which opponent we face. We are going there to play, to look towards the opponent’s goal, to be a cohesive unit, understanding the moments and references of pressing very well, and to be a very competitive team in the different phases of the game, including set pieces, which are decisive moments in this Segunda Liga, as we have seen recently.”

The week of preparation“The preparation took place within the context of a B team, but we are certain that whoever steps onto the pitch will do so with the goal of winning the match and representing the values of FC Porto. Regardless of the time we have to prepare for the game, we will present ourselves at our maximum capacity, because that is the context of a B team.”

The 11th-placed team“They are an opponent that will play at home, that fights from the first to the last minute, and it will be a tough match, but we hope to come away with all three points.”

The B team’s locker room“I feel that the team is very united, we all want to win, and the goal is to give everything to leave there with all three points.”
