- How do you analyze this draw with V. Setúbal?
- The draw was soon announced and we left with the feeling of defeat. We started very strong and managed to reach 3-0 after 35 minutes played. Even at the end of the first half, the Vitória team managed to reduce the score with a penalty.
In the second half, we got excited and ended up letting it reach 3-2, with some apathy from our team.
- After the 3-2, did you feel that the team would be able to win the challenge?
- Yes, after the goal we managed to return to the levels of the first half and we could have closed the game. Once again, external factors didn't understand this and against the flow of the game, Vitória managed to reach a draw in a very comfortable transition on our part.
- Do you maintain the objective of guaranteeing qualification for the final phase?
- Yes. Now we need to analyze what was less good and try to correct the mistakes, a team that really wants to reach the finals cannot make the mistakes we made. The goal remains the same
- Next is Marítimo, which has one more point than Casa Pia. Eyes set on winning the three points?
- Clear! In the next game we try to be more competent and with our experiences we don't make the same mistakes. I don't really like talking about external factors, but the truth is that every week we feel like we're facing a team with more than 11.
