The Braga coach defended that “the FC Porto swimming matrix will not change much” and promised to “face the rival face to face”.
In the preview of the first match of the championship, this Saturday, in Dragão, with FC Porto, Carlos Carvalhal defended that the great star of the rival, national champion, is Sérgio Conceição. The Braga coach began by answering a question about the expectations of a great match.
“We are prepared for the competition, we made our route in the preseason and the results are not the most important, but the evolution of the team and we see a team growing, playing better, correcting mistakes. We played very competitive games, which forced us to make mistakes , as with Benfica, Valladolid or Bacelos. When we played two games I saw that we were prepared. Come the championship, the opening game and we are prepared. We know that all rivals are difficult, this will be one of the most difficult, but what we promise is that we will fight, we will face the rival face to face ”.
This could be an outlier time. Will the necessary security conditions be met?
“I am not a doctor, but as a citizen what I say is that we have to live with this, we have to worry, but we have to continue with our activities. Soccer is perhaps the most regulated activity, today I did the 19th test. We cannot stop and continue to lead by example. “
Advantage of knowing Taremi?
“Taremi is a great player, but FC Porto was the national champion last season not because of an individual action, but because of the team. If there is a star in FC Porto, it is Sérgio Conceição who did a fantastic job. We are concerned about quality. of the team as a whole. Through the collective, Braga will want to be face to face with FC Porto. “
Is FC Porto stronger than last season when it won the title and the Portuguese Cup?
There are more offensive solutions, but the FC Porto headquarters is not going to change much. The coach is the same, the players are basically the same and they have a strong team ”.
Is the bar high after three wins last season?
“It means that it is possible, that there is trust. It is the first match of the championship, of a marathon and what we want is to fight for victory in all the matches. On the other hand, it also implies more respect from the rival. But they are games of mutual respect. “.
How do you define FC Porto then?
“It is based more on the collective and what we have to do is play our game, put our dynamics on the field, facing the goal, so that people like what they are seeing, especially our fans.”
Is the team already at an optimal point?
“Not at all. We have an evolutionary framework, we are very satisfied with what we anticipate. The team understands the moments of the game, they have a matrix of wanting the ball. The team is very prepared to compete, but it is evident that the team only reaches the its fullness after two or three months. “
And do you already have the coach’s signature?
“Braga is a team capable of playing on the entire pitch, interpreting much of what we have already worked on, being effective in moments of the game, it has good dynamics, but it will get better and better, it will play better and better. There are acquired dynamics and others that are being acquired. Serious games give us a very strong indicator. I am very satisfied, we have completed all the stages of evolution ”.
Will you be able to play again with the three center-back scheme, as it almost always happened in the preseason?
“I am not going to reveal how we are going to play. We know how we are going to approach the game and we have a clear idea of all the moments of the game, the transition moments, the pieces from set pieces. We will not be in full swing, but we are in that road”.
