After the draw in Madrid, against Atlético, this Sunday, FC Porto will host Moreirense, a team that has not yet won in the league (three draws and two defeats). Sérgio Conceição is well aware that teams usually experience difficulties after games in the Champions League, but he remembers that there is something non-negotiable for his work group: competitive attitude.
“It is a fact that teams, after the Champions, have some difficulty, but this happens throughout Europe, not just in Portugal. It has to do with the expense in physical terms, but it is more at an emotional level», began by considering the coach of the dragons.
«Leaving a game with huge media coverage and then having to enter games that players can devalue the opponent in front of them. That’s why there are some drawbacks, but I warned in the dressing room: being competitive always, it’s not just sometimes. This is non-negotiable. This is no message for the spa, but if you feel any lack of commitment, I’m on the bench to make changes. I’m the one who can replace, just as the president can also replace me», he shot.
Sérgio Conceição, moreover, expects “a game within the difficulty of this championship”. «I think that Moreirense, in terms of the results, does not reflect the quality of their team. It’s up to us to pay for the game and go looking for what’s most important, which is winning three points», he said.
