The departure of César Peixoto from Moreirense, already duly explained by Maisfutebol, left “some surprise” in the working group. Leandro Mendes, until now Peixoto’s substitute and responsible for guiding the team in Dragão, was in the press room to inaugurate the visit to FC Porto.
“Neither I nor the players expected this decision. Will it affect the team? In a way I think so, because Caesar was our leader until yesterday [sexta-feira]. However, I know the group we have in hand and the athletes are perfectly capable of overcoming it, ”Leandro Mendes, a man with a long connection to Moreirense, told reporters.
“I will not reveal the strategy that we will adopt, but not much will escape from what we have been doing. It would be a mistake to want to change something in 24 hours. The idea is resolved. Players identify with what they have to do and know the opponent. I don’t doubt that tomorrow [domingo] we will give a good answer. »
Leandro Mendes will lead Moreirense for the third time on an interim basis. Lost in the two previous experiences. “It is not because it is the game with FC Porto, but all the games in this championship are extremely difficult. tomorrow [domingo] It’s just another game It is true that it will be at the home of the national champion, but that does not detract from the ambition that we have shown throughout the championship, which is to get there and try to win the three points ».
FC Porto-Moreirense will take place on Sunday, in Dragão, at 9pm.
