Unveiled, Ademir Fesan sees Portuguesa as ‘one of Série D’s favourites’ | OneFootball

Ademir Fesan, recently introduced as the new head coach of Portuguesa, gave his first press conference at the CT do Parque Ecológico do Tietê. During the event, held this Wednesday and attended by president Alex Bourgeois, the coach expressed optimism regarding the club’s objectives for the remainder of the year, with special focus on the Série D of the Brazilian Championship.

Speaking about the ambitions for Série D, Ademir Fesan said that Portuguesa sees itself as one of the favorites in the competition. However, he stressed the importance of not relying only on the club’s history.

“Portuguesa is one of the favorites in Série D, but we can’t play on name alone,” he said. The coach acknowledged that promotion will be a difficult path, but showed confidence in the club’s strength and ability to achieve it.

“Promotion will be difficult, but the club has the strength and the conditions to achieve it. For that, we will need to compete and work very hard, because Série D is not an easy competition,” he added.

Importance of a winning mentality and structure

Fesan highlighted the need to strengthen the squad with players who have not only technical, tactical, and physical qualities, but also a strong winning mentality. According to him, that difference is crucial for success in Série D.

“It is important to have what we already have here, a good structure that allows us to demand and give our all. We need good, competitive players who, beyond the technical, tactical, and physical side, also have a winning mentality. That is the biggest difference-maker in Série D,” explained Lusa’s new coach.
