It is these teams that feed us, the ones that give us confidence. We are past the period in which the intensity of the ogo was low, we are physically recovering and the players, individually, are beginning to play better ”, he began by saying in the quick interview, pointing batteries to Estoril:“ We have to think now. on Thursday, we have a very important game.
