“We never slowed down and we went looking for more”

“We worried about ourselves. We entered the game on the front foot, always looking for the goal, passing the ball around. We had goal opportunities that we didn't scored, other plays in which we reached the edge of the box, but we were not able to finish”, said Rui Vitória.

“It was a well-deserved win”, he stressed in the flash interview to Sport TV and at the Press Conference.

“In the second half, we scored the second goal and even when we conceded the 1-2 we didn't slow down and went looking for the third, always with a great objectivity. We could have scored more goals, but we have to congratulate Quim, not only for a high quality career, but for the great performance he has done her, with very good saves”, praised the coach. 

“The team appeared and appears in a cheerful, convinced, proactive, determined way, playing forward, looking to score goals. We could have scored more goals. At this point, the important thing is to win. We did that with a personalized and safe performance”, he highlighted.

Defend the National title and win the fifth consecutive title is the main objective of the season.

“We know we will only achieve our goals if we focus on our purpose. It is not worth looking at the work of others if we don't do our work well good. There is a very big belief because these player, to be four-time champions, had to go through tough periods in life. We will continue to go through them, but we are ready and determined for the remainder of the championship”, he said.
