It doesn’t happen very often, in the World Cup sometimes there are these surprises, but I asked us to be equal to ourselves, not to lose our identity. This opponent is not from our championship. Our championship is São João de Ver, we have to remain competitive in the game”, he said, at a press conference.

Surprised by Boavista’s incapacity?

Descent to earth
“My concern is to work on the team to bring it down to earth. We were the giants of this round.
