The blue and white coach previewed the match against the Geese.
Sérgio Conceição, coach of FC Porto, spoke about the players who will not be an option for this Saturday’s clash against Casa Pia, in a match counting for the 13th round of the I League.
“João Mário is out, Alan Varela did integrated conditioning training today, the so-called TIC in the medical report, which is very modern”, he said at a press conference. Remember that João Mário, Marcano, Wendell and Gabriel Veron are also out and will not face the geese.
The Porto coach was also asked about the twice-daily training session after the defeat against Estoril in the League Cup and whether this had served as punishment for the players (3-1).
“Twice-daily session? What is done within these microcycles has to do with the games. We played at Amoreira, we arrived at Dragão on Thursday, today is Friday, tomorrow we play, so we have little time to work. Every minute and every the hours are important. Then whether it is bi-daily or tri-daily is a question that I have to evaluate”, he said
“Don’t you want to know why FC Porto lost at Estoril? The defined strategy, what was asked of the players… that’s what’s interesting. The punishment, the twice-a-day session… it’s very basic, after 12 years, tomorrow is the 500th game in the League, I’m a bit fed up, in that sense. They’re not talking about football, I’m a bit fed up. It has to do with the little time to prepare for a game and dissect the other game we played”, he continued.
