Vítor Bruno was proud of the "players' belief" in the evolution process after the victory over Casa Pia (2-0)
“Everything that concerns me is the least important.” That's how the talk about a "well-achieved and consistent game" started with Vítor Bruno, who celebrates his 42nd birthday. Very "happy" and "proud" of the players, who "worked hard and believed in what is built", the coach considered that the team could "have gone to the break winning" and that the victory was "clear, fair, with a clean sheet. It was deserved.”
"Regardless of what comes from the outside, the players do not deviate from what has been worked on", the coach continued, "very happy", before being clear about the strategy for the future: "As long as I am here, it will be the way we want, how we work, making use of what our ideas are. It will not always be perfect, because it is a new idea, it is an idea that involves moments of risk, but the team was always there. And that makes me very happy. ”
With this victory, which means getting "three points, nothing more than that", the coach is already aiming at Famalicão, "a difficult opponent" that will require "work" and the usual philosophy: "We seek to walk close to perfection".
The credit to the players
“Everything that concerns me is the least important. I wanted the players to win, to be happy. They have worked hard, they believe in what we built. That makes me the proudest. It was a good, consistent game, with the team nullifying the opponent's offensive moment. In the first half, we had three, four, five opportunities to score, we could have reached the break winning. Casa Pia also had counters where they could have scored. Then, in the second half, we continued to control the game, with a strong pressing attitude, recovering high on the pitch. This shows that the players respected our defensive organization. And with the ball we kept the game under control. It was a clear victory, fair, with a clean sheet. It was deserved.”
Complete belief in the strategy
“What makes me the happiest is to know that they believe in the idea that is being passed on, in what we are building. Regardless of what comes from the outside, players do not deviate from what has been worked on. Here, if someone is dissatisfied, in this case the president, he has to tell me and I will never be a problem. If he has to tell me, he will and I'll go on with my life, without any problem. Now, as long as I'm here, it's going to be the way we want, the way we work, investing in what our ideas are. It will not always be perfect, because it is a new idea, it is an idea that involves moments of risk, but the team was always there. And that makes me very happy. Really happy, for them, because they have pushed to the limit the belief with which we work every day and this is the biggest pillar for success.”
From battle to battle
“We will continue to do what we always do, which is work. We're already looking at the game against Famalicão, a difficult opponent. This one is over, it meant three points, nothing more than that. Now it's time to look at the next game.”
The way forward
“People talk of what they want. We are aware of what we have to do, looking at ourselves, inward, realizing which way to go and knowing that we will never be perfect. We seek to walk close to perfection. As we were going through difficult times, what makes me happy is the fact that the players never moved away from what was defined. From our idea, of what we want to bring to the game. Even in adverse situations from what is said from the outside. Now it's time to rest and we start thinking about Famalicão tomorrow.”
