Raúl: “We depend on ourselves”

Entered and scored. Rui Vitória replaced Grimaldo and Raúl opened the scorer right in his first shot (59'). Sixth goal of the season, fourth in Liga NOS.

“I’m happy for helping the team achieving the three points. The coach says that important are the starting eleven and the players who enter. We have always to play the best way possible to help the team. We got to do the same or better than the ones on the field. I always want to help the team winning the three points”, said the striker.

"It is necessary to be focused until the end, until the final whistle. That’s what happened with the goal. I took advantage of an error to score. We always want to play all matches, but it is always good to get some rest in order to stand up and give our best”, he confessed.

“We go to the field with a winning mentality, we depend on ourselves to get what we want. By winning the 3 points each game, we go home happy”, he assured.
