- Casa Pia achieved an excellent triumph over Estoril-Praia. Fair victory?
- Yes, fair victory for the best team on the field. Probably our best first half, we came into the game very strong and managed to impose our strategy perfectly. We managed to take a comfortable lead in the first half. In the second half we were less intense, with the Estoril team managing to balance the game, registering opportunities for both parties, also allowing for another management of the team, protecting and resting some more overloaded elements.
- Casa Pia entered a place that gives him access to fight for the title. Optimistic about the future?
- Yes. We are in the zone of access to the title, but we know that there is still a long way to go and that each game will be a final for us to maintain it. It's a very unpredictable and difficult championship, any team can win, which makes this championship even more complicated.
- Is Casa Pia going through a good moment?
- The group is strong and very united, we are in a good phase. We will try to keep the group very united to maintain this record. The group reacted very well to the victory and believes that it is possible to participate in the champion qualifying group.
- Belenenses is the next opponent. Difficulties in sight?
- The next game at Restelo is a treble. Any team can win. A game where we will try to win and have a great game. We expect a very strong team that is having a great championship and has great players.
- How far can Casa Pia go?
- Casa Pia can go far and surpass its goals, but we have our feet firmly planted and we are not going to get confused, we will go game by game...
