Ambition to improve “Above all, we want to do more. We want to be a team that reflects the Club’s identity, a team hungrier to win, with more desire to claim the three points and dominate the opponent. We want to be capable of being a dominant team for the full 90 minutes.”

A demanding opponent and context “Every week we face different and highly demanding challenges. Playing away, at CD Feirense’s ground, is highly demanding; it is a challenge we have prepared for throughout the whole week. Essentially, we focus on ourselves and on what we have to do to claim the three points, while always adding something to our collective play.”

The role of the fans “The support of the fans is always important, whether at home or away. Away from home it gives us even more strength, we feel at home, and we want our fans to support us in every moment of the game.”
