“We’re very strong, very united and we’re going all out” | OneFootball

One win away from mathematically securing the national title in their age group, FC Porto’s under-15s travel to Alverca “focused on claiming the three points” in the 17th and penultimate matchday of the Championship Qualification phase (Sunday, 11:30am, Canal 11). Manuel Prata wants to see a group “on alert”, “highly collective in defending the goal” and ready to “bring the Portal dos Dragões drive” to the Alverca training centre, while midfielder Rodrigo Oliveira expects “a tough and difficult game”, but assures that the team is “very strong and united” and will “go all in” to win.

Focus firmly on our own game“It’s an opponent we know very well, but above all this week we focused on ourselves and on what, every week, we can add to our collective game and to each one of them. We are focused on taking the three points in Alverca.”

At the highest level from the start“We analysed that first-leg game so that we could get to know FC Alverca even better, but above all we look at this game and understand that the story will be different. We are all in a state of alert that allows us to go into FC Alverca’s home and bring the Portal dos Dragões spirit, to play a dominant game, with possession of the ball and being highly collective in defending our goal.”

A clearly defined identity“We know perfectly well which Club we represent and we want to win the three points every week, while also bringing each player closer every day to reaching the first team, which is our ultimate objective.”

Only settling the score at the end“We’ll take stock at the end and understand where the team started and where it finished, as well as the things we improved and what we can do better, but only at the end.”

Rodrigo Oliveira

Ready for the demands“It’s going to be a tough and difficult game, but we are more than ready to face this challenge.”

The ambition remains“Our objective is always to win, to take the three points every weekend, and we are ready to do that tomorrow.”
