RICARDO BARÃO, PLAYERS OF FUTURE coach, led his Olivais and Moscavide team to a draw (1-1) on their trip to Malveira, in a match counting for the 7th round of the 1st Division of the Lisbon Football Association. A busy week follows with games against Alta de Lisboa (Wednesday) and Estrela da Amadora B (Sunday).
- Does the draw at Malveira fit with what happened over the 90 minutes?
- On the one hand I think so, on the other hand it costs us a lot. We scored a goal after 10 minutes but Atl. Malveira always had more of the ball and looked for a draw throughout the game, ending up being happy. The truth is that without us dominating the game we always had the game under control and Malveira didn't have a single chance to score. We had one or two more transitions that could have killed the game, then we ended up conceding a goal in the last play of the game after 90 minutes in a dead ball after a rebound, which takes away two points from us that I think we deserved for the organization and discipline we we had throughout the game.
- Despite having one less game, the team is in the top places. Does it fit the objectives?
- Yes, our goal this year is to be in the top 3/4 and if we win and add those 3 points from the game behind we will go to that place. Would be excellent!
- Olivais e Moscavide hasn't lost in five games, a motivating reality?
- It demonstrates the quality we have demonstrated and especially the regularity of this team. It's a team with a winning mentality and no matter the opponent we always want to play eye to eye, respecting all our opponents but always trying to score three points.
- The next opponent is Alta de Lisboa, in a delayed match. How do you view the match?
- He is an opponent with a lot of quality and the classification does not show what he has done in the games. A team that has been playing very pleasant football, often even dominating games but not gaining points for this or that detail. I repeat, he is a very difficult opponent.
- Estrela da Amadora follows…
- Yes, next Sunday we will face Estrela de Amadora, the leader of this championship and that alone reflects the quality of a professional team that trains in the morning and that will have a whole week to rest and prepare our game in the best way and we only three days but we will always have our ideas and try to play the game in the best way. In short: difficult week with three games in which we will try to gain as many points as possible.
