With a complicated schedule until the end of the first round, Moreno does not hide the equally difficult moment that the emblem of Trás-os-Montes, last classified in the highest category of Portuguese football, is going through, stressing that “courage” is needed. to “leave a different image” than the one he has left the squad, “basically in away games.”
“We have five games, four tough defeats, we have a victory in Arouca. What we want for tomorrow [sexta-feira] “It is, basically, not leaving the image that we left in those four games away from home and being aware that we have to be very organized, very compact, making sure that if we only think about defending we will not get anything out of the game at Dragão.” , the coach stressed in the preview of the start.
For all this, the Guimarães coach guaranteed that GD Chaves will compete undefeated, facing the club’s current situation with “calm” and “responsibility.”
“[Podem] We expect a competitive, organized Chaves, with courage to have the ball, we prepare the game with the desire to do so, knowing that, on the other side, there is a very strong team, which is difficult to play at the Dragão. When I talk about courage, I mean the moment with the ball, having the ball, putting men in finishing areas, without ever losing balance, realizing that there are still two games left in the first round and this Awkward situation. “We are facing it. Do it calmly, at the same time with responsibility,” he reiterated.
On the part of FC Porto, Moreno said that he believes that the defeat in Alvalade will have “implications” for the clash against GD Chaves, so he expects intensity from the blue and white team.
“A very strong FC Porto, very intense, we prepare everything, the small details, the speed with which they replace the ball, for example. It is this intense FC Porto that we are going to find, we have to be prepared for that, and if At some moments of the game we have 11 athletes behind the ball line, it is no shame, because any team does it there in the Dragão,” he stated.

In 17 official matches, GD Chaves never scored [no Dragão], and this is another challenge, which motivates us beyond what the game is. We do not live on moral victories, we need points and we are aware of it,” he assured.
For this task the coach will not be able to count on Habib Sylla, Ygor Nogueira, Pedro Pinho and Issah Abass.
