GONÇALO BATISTA, PLAYERS OF FUTURE striker, was once again part of Nuno Kata's list of options in Marinhense's 1-0 victory over Alverca B, in the 19th round of Series C of the Portuguese Championship. GONÇALO BATISTA was once again in good shape and interestingly, since his arrival at Marinha Grande, the team beat Alverca B, Mortágua and Sertanense and drew in the visit to candidate U. Santarém, with a curious note: Marinhense did not concede goals and scored ten points out of 12 possible.
- How do you evaluate your performance in Alverca?
- I started well, I helped the team win, which is the most important thing. Little by little I start to fit in, gaining confidence. It's natural, I'm on the right path. It's been easier and easier to play, I'm getting to know my teammates, our style of play, so everything gets easier.
- Marinhense won again and is already on the way up. Is confidence high?
- Yes absolutely yes! We are getting closer to the goal but without forgetting that we have to remain focused.
- Adaptation to the team has improved week after week. Right?
- Undoubtedly! Day after day I'm gaining more and more rapport with the team, it can be seen both in training and in games. I'm very happy! Now we just have to keep working because with a team like this everything gets easier.
- He took two yellow cards from opposing players. This is one of your trademark images. Do you agree?
- Yes, my way of playing often forces opponents to resort to fouls. Against Marinhense, they were bad moves but it's part of the game. We have to be intelligent in doing what the game asks of us and at that moment we needed calm and tranquility in the game to end up winning.
- Next comes the visit of União de Tomar. Important to win?
- Reaching our objective requires a good result with U. Tomar. We are very focused on gaining access to the climb phase. We believe more and more that it will be possible to achieve this objective. It's going to be a difficult game in which we have to be concentrated and focused to win.
