He recognized that they deserved to win this trophy, for the commitment and dedication they showed during the season, in which they always had the support of the associative mass and the fans.
In this match, he recognized that they could not count on players who were always in the first line of the game, but he stressed that those who were chosen gave the best they could.
“We knew it was an all-or-nothing game, so we went on the attack, so this is a moment of great joy for all of us, so let’s celebrate”, he said.
Now, the focus is on preparing for the Cape Verde Cup, with a view to being able to “do a good representation” in this competition, which has also been gaining ground in the country.
Figueirense
The coach of the Figueirense team, Alírio Martins, stressed that they did not do well in the match, as they were unable to implement the tactic outlined during the week to defeat their opponent once again.
“We started with some nervousness, but this is my responsibility, in any case this defeat does not take away my team’s shine, which during this season has shown a lot of character and good football”, he said.
Alirio Martins guaranteed that his players are motivated and prepared to represent the island of Maio in the national football championship, every game they will play.
