SC Braga is preparing to host Famalicão and Carlos Carvalhal’s ambition is the same as always: regardless of the casualties in the team (some due to injury, others due to Covid-19), the objective is to win.
“We will face the current 17th place, but with one less game and a team with individual and collective competence to be better. It’s a team with good players and they’ve recently changed coaches, but the most important thing is what we’re doing and what we can do. We played a good game in Arouca and now we’ve had a good week of work. We have a lively team, motivated, confident and willing to discuss the three points from the first minute”, said the warriors’ coach.
Covid-19 has just caused another drop in the squad. If Ricardo Horta, Chiquinho and Fabiano return to their options, Vitinha is the most recent case of isolation, a situation in which Raul Silva and Abel Ruiz already found themselves.
“Our attitude in the face of these circumstances of the moment is not to regret the absences. We have to realize that it is an abnormality, but that it has become normal. We will not make excuses. We are paid to find solutions. Within the available, we will present a competitive and strong team. In Arouca we had some unavailable, others advanced and we continued to be competitive. Nor that we have to look for options for under-19s or under-17s”, he added.
«This is a big challenge for all coaches, who are responsible for finding the best arguments. Throughout the year there will always be these abnormal circumstances for everyone», said Carvalhal.
