SC Braga visits Estádio do Bessa supported by a cycle of three consecutive games without conceding goals and Carlos Carvalhal wants to keep the team aligned with that defensive efficiency.
«We matched last season’s record without conceding goals for the championship (11) and that represents a very important motivation for the team» revealed the coach. The good defensive performance of the warriors, moreover, motivated an interesting reflection by Carvalhal, with the coach recognizing that the return of David Carmo had an important contribution to the balance of the team. «It came to bring stability and quality in construction from behind», pointed out the technician.
Recovering the game with Boavista, Carvalhal considers that the team will not accuse the rout (5-1) suffered by Bessa for the League Cup in December last year. «We don’t have to rectify the image, this game is over, this is a meeting of different characteristics. Boavista is an aggressive team in a good way and will look for the three points, but I strongly believe in the ability of my team», assumed Carvalhal.
The coach also didn’t let go of the possibility of Matheus renewing a contract with the warriors. «Matheus is an excellent goalkeeper, a great team goalkeeper, he has a strong personality and is an excellent person. The contract renewal would be excellent for SC Braga and for Matheus.”
