Manuel Prata, under-15s coach: “We have to keep raising our game” | OneFootball

Manuel Prata and Tiago Portugal are already pointing to the Salgueiros-FC Porto under-15 match, scheduled for this Sunday at 11:00 am.

On the fourth round of the North Zone of the National Beginners, a derby of the Invicta takes place in Campanhã against Salgueiros (Sunday, 11:00 am). After leading the team to two victories with an unbeaten goal in as many matches, Manuel Prata states that he intends to "raise the level more and more" to reach "higher levels of results and performances". Tiago Portugal wants to contribute to this goal by "working well" and "with responsibility": "My focus is always to help the team so we can win".

Manuel PrataThe victorious start"We are happy, but we are not satisfied because we want more. We know that the team can reach other levels, we want to continue without injured goals and prolong the winning streak."

Still about CD Tondela"Of course the game had a great adversity, we were left with one less player, but they were three points, essentially they teach us that in the second half we have to value the spirit and competitiveness that the team had on the field, the spirit of overcoming, even with less than one player we managed to dominate the game, create several opportunities, but we also have to look at the first half and understand what we could have done more in the first half, with the players 11 against 11 and what we need to do to reach the interval in advantage."

The Salgueiros"We are expecting a competitive team that will defend the goal with everything, has good players and we know that we have to raise our level more and more to reach higher levels of results and performances."

In constant improvement"We want to continue winning, if possible score more goals and keep the goal at zero. Then there are things in which we have to grow as a team, collectively understand what each of us can do for FC Porto to win the three points, the way we dominate the opponent and control the transitions of the opponents. These are aspects in which we want to grow. We all know the path to where we want to go."

Tiago PortugalThe fruitful start in the championship"It's been a good start, two games and two victories, that's what we wanted. We are working well and now we have to continue."

Captain's words"It is a feeling of pride to be able to wear the captain's armband, but it is also a great responsibility because I am representing my team and our Club. My focus is always to help the team so we can win."
