We will surely win. We are playing good football. The boys are giving 100%. The whole team knows the importance of this match and we are well prepared for the challenge. Our coach has also worked hard and motivated us. Last match we played very good football we scored many goals in which we were lacking behind, I guess we have found our rhythm and hopefully we can score more.” FC Bardez manager Armando Colaco said,” Yes last game was good. Finishing wise I was happy because they scored six goals, but I’m not happy with the way they played. They made to many mistakes and lost possession quickly. The style of the ball flow wasn’t there. Vasco SC is a good team, I hope my boys create chances and score, people love to watch good football. I hope my boys play good football today and win the game”.
