The 25th round of the second league will take FC Porto B to the stadium of the Municipal Sports Park of Mafra, where it faces Mafra (Sunday, 11h00, Sport TV). Aware that “the 10 games that are missing until the end of the championship are of tremendous importance” and that are “30 valuable points” in dispute, João Brandão believes in a “extremely competitive” duel, in which dragons cannot give up their “ideas” and their “values”. “Keeping the goal to zero we are always closer to winning,” added the coach. FC Porto B is 16th classified, with 21 points, while Mafra follows in 18th and last position with 17.

The difficult trip to Mafra
“The 10 games that are missing by the end of the championship are of tremendous importance, 30 points in dispute, 30 valuable points. For different reasons, all teams will want to fight for the three points in each game. We expect a mafra with a very large physical dimension, strong in the offensive transition and the ability of the front men. We expect an extremely competitive game, but we look a lot at what our skills and our valences are. We will never give up what is our game and what is our ideas and our values. In this way we will be able to have a more associative game and more in the offensive midfield. Above all, I want a team with a big ambition and thirst for victory. ”

The latest results
“The team is in the growth process and young players are growing. Some of them have moved from the under-19 and under-17 echelons and only now have a sense of the reality of the second league. They begin to have a more real adaptation to such a demanding championship as the second league is. We want to look at this game very mature, knowing how to manage rhythms and incidences. In the past game there was an incidence that penalized us a lot, which was the expulsion, but then we showed our collective dimension and, with 10, we allowed very little to the opponent. This is what we want to do with 11, being a balanced team, because keeping the goal to zero we are always closer to winning. ”
