Tondela travels to Madeira to face Nacional on Sunday (15 hours), for the eleventh day of the League, so coach Pako Ayestarán anticipated the match on Thursday morning.
The Spanish coach considers that there are nine teams with close proximity, which requires double attention every day: “All the games are very important, this perhaps more, because it is with a rival who is among those nine teams.”
As all teams are very close in the standings, earning three points can offer a more comfortable position, although this is always relative.
«With everything so close, in two games you can be up, in two games you can be down. We are confident that we can achieve something positive, “he guaranteed.
Pako Ayestarán remembered the last game [empate sem golos na receção ao Moreirense] as a series of adversities that his team knew how to face and still could give a good answer.
“We were able to show solidarity and keep our goal at zero. There were times when we were able to find our players between the lines. There was only lack of movement in the back of the rival team, “he said.
In the absence of Pedro Augusto and João Pedro in midfield due to suspension, the coach admitted that Jaquité and Jaume Grau are in the front row for the title in the match with Nacional: “Both have offensive characteristics, but we will win in the defensive balance. »
The Tondela coach considers that in all the games he saw at Nacional he could perceive “a very proactive team that wants to take over the game from the beginning, that tries to play in a more positive way and maintains the breadth of the playing field.”
“We expect an offensive team,” he projected, concluding: “We must end the year as a victory.”
