After the 3-0 win over Rio Ave, Braga manager Carlos Carvalhal said it was “obvious” that the squad needed to strengthen in certain positions.

Return to fourth place: “This is the victory that satisfies the coaches, because it is the victory of the team. Today we did not play at a brilliant level, despite having scored the first two goals through work with technical content. There were two great goals. But this He has explanations: we play against a good rival, because Rio Ave is a good team, that fights for the European places, and will continue to fight for absolute certainty, and has good players. We started well in the game and we were good until the first 20 minutes , but after the departure of Galen, the team lost its referents. We lost position and lost many balls, we were very subject to transitions, but when we were not well in the game the team prevailed defensively, because the team clung to not suffer then we correct when we pass Yuri [Medeiros] to the left and Fransérgio a little further to the right. We got our game back and in the first half, in addition to the goal, we had a clear opportunity for Yuri. In the second part we were more consistent than in the first, realizing what the game was asking for at all times. If it was necessary to defend, I defended everyone, if it was necessary to attack, we made an organized attack or a quick attack. We ended up getting a good, solid victory against a good team. It seems to me even by exaggerated figures, taking into account the performance of Rio Ave. It was fundamentally a victory for the group. It wasn’t one of those days like we had it with Santa, when we lost 1-0 and wasted countless chances. This rival is different, he has a solid team and is more robust. “

Did Galen’s departure too early destabilize the team? “It is not only for Galeno, but also. We have no alternative to that position. We immediately had to put Ricardo Horta on the left, but we lost aggressiveness at the front. So, detecting this lack of pressure, we put Iuri Medeiros to On the left, we had to readjust Fransérgio’s position … we have some difficulties in one position or another. “

Have you talked to the president to ask for gifts? “I need players, I don’t need gifts (laughs). He knows it and obviously we do. We have no alternative to Galeno. The squad was built with two players per position. We believe we can have internal acquisitions, Gaitán and Schettine played little, due to injuries . Playing every three days, the players are overwhelmed. Maybe we will have to solve one situation or another, in addition to internal reinforcements. “
