João Brandão: "A week of reflection and hard graft" | OneFootball

FC Porto B returns to Olival for the 3rd round of the Second League to host SC Farense on Sunday at 11:00 (Porto Canal). Both teams have one point and are looking for their first win of the season. João Brandão asked the players to always put "the team's values first" and maintains that "things will come out naturally and more positively" if the Dragons remain faithful to the principles and "values" of the Club. Forward Brayan Caicedo, on the other hand, wants to see the Porto collective "start strong" in all games.

Fight for victory without giving up principles"The goal is always to win, dominate and control the game. For this, we must always put the team's values first, always think first about the team's values, of FC Porto. From there, things will come out naturally and more positively, which did not happen in the last game. It was a week of reflection and hard work, in which we took action and did not just talk. We want to compete to the best of our abilities and compete to win."

An opponent who was in the First League"SC Farense is clearly one of the big candidates for promotion and is packed with players with First League experience. They have very good individual values, but surely the SC Farense coach is also thinking about the individual values of FC Porto B and how we can create problems for them. In the defensive moment we have to be collective and organized, but we also have to look at our offensive game and be very focused on the opponent's goal."

The support of the Portistas"FC Porto will always come first. We are a young team, it's true, and this year we have even lowered the average age, but we don't accept excuses and we don't give justifications for anything. We feel the support of the fans, but on the field we have to justify that support, we have to make Olival our fortress."

Brayan Caicedo

A quality opponent"SC Farense is a team that wants to return to the First League, but we are going to work to win and to keep the three points at home."
