GONÇALO BATISTA, PLAYERS OF FUTURE striker, is Marinhense's latest signing. The former FC Serpa player, who played through the youth ranks of Sporting, Benfica and Desportivo da Corunha, made his debut at home in the 1-0 victory over Sertanense, a result that allows the team coached by Nuno Kata to remain three points in the lead after the 16th round of Series C of the Portuguese Championship.
- How was your debut wearing the Marinhense shirt?
- I waited all week for the debut, but it was great, I joined to help the team. I felt very good, no problems. I am very happy with my coming to Marinhense. I feel integrated and able to help my team with whatever is necessary.
- Was it a fair victory?
- Undoubtedly! The pitch was heavy, but we managed to do what the coach asked and came out on top. We are all to be congratulated!
- How do you see next Sunday's visit to União de Santarém, matchday 17?
- This week I will work with the same commitment as always. I'll do my best to be the manager's option in the Santarém game. I'm sure things will go well next Sunday. It's going to be a very good, difficult game, we'll have to do our best to win. After what I felt in the game with Sertanense, I believe we have the weapons to win the match in Santarém.
- What was the reason that led you to sign for Marinhense?
- I saw a team with a lot of quality, a team that likes to have the ball and dominate the game. But another important point is the stability that exists at the club, this aspect is halfway to success. Balance of the first week? Fantastic!
- How is the adaptation phase going?
- At first it was a little awkward, because I joined halfway through and they already had the group formed. Everyone welcomed me very well, the atmosphere is spectacular. I'm really enjoying this new challenge.
- How do you remember your time at Sporting, Benfica? Deportivo da Coruña, V. Setúbal, for example?
- They were very good moments in which I learned a lot. Experiences that I will forever keep in my memory.
- This Saturday he turned 22 years old, how far can he dream of going?
- Well, I want to reach the highest level and be able to demonstrate my quality in Portuguese football. That's my dream, I believe it will come true!
- Do you have an idol?
- Cristiano Ronaldo!
- Why?
- He is a man who focused a lot and worked hard to be where he is. It is a recognition that is entirely deserved. An example that must be followed.
- How is it defined?
- I'm an irreverent player, a player who likes to have the ball, go after the opponent without fear.
- Is that your brand image?
- Undoubtedly!
- Is this the year of your affirmation?
- I'm working towards that, I believe so.
- What were the reasons that led you to choose PLAYERS OF FUTURE?
- I no longer felt very good where I was and from the moment I spoke to PLAYERS OF FUTURES, the company worried about me and my well-being. They worked and work to help me in the best way possible. I am very satisfied, very much so.
