What happened in the past has already happened », he began by saying to the coach who, in connection with the meeting, indicated what could not happen:« The mistake we cannot do is to look back. They are completely different games. In the last game we played in Dragão we had to play to win. More offensive game. And this is how we got in because only one outcome matters.”
However, for this match of the 33rd and penultimate round of the I Liga, the Famalicense coach believes the pressure is more on FC Porto.
In this game, the roles are probably reversed. FC Porto does not want to let the tournament end in the next few days. This game for us is not a special game, it is like all the other games in the league. If we have to look back, let’s look at the first round matchup. We know that FC Porto poses many difficulties on the sidelines. without giving up the central aisle. In offensive terms, we will try to do what we always do which is to create the opposite target and get close to it. Try to score and win, ”he confirmed.
