Coach

Excellent Futsal game, a real treat.
In the 1st half we were pushed into our own half, sometimes touching the area.
We were subjected to suffocating pressure, and my team found it very difficult to come out and play. As a result of this greater fluidity of play, Freixieiro managed to shoot at our goal many times, with Pataco (our Gr) in the spotlight. Therefore, the result at half-time (1-0) was perhaps scarce.
I emphasize perhaps, because Freixieiro, with all this attacking flow, had practically no isolated players against our GR, limiting themselves to making many shots from outside the area and scoring the goal from a dead ball (frontal free kick). Interestingly, out of the half dozen times we went to France's goal, 4 of them we were isolated. The best opportunities belonged to us.
In the 2nd Half, everything was reversed. It felt like another game with other teams.
Joarte was stronger in everything. Technically, tactically and physically. They became uninhibited, we pushed them to their rear, we created countless blatant goal situations.
Our pressure, although not as suffocating as the one we were subjected to in the 1st half, was more effective.
It was a luxurious 2nd Half, at the level of the best, which once again lacked efficiency in finishing.
Overall, with the game having two distinct halves, Freixieiro shot more and, as a result of these dangerous shots, created, perhaps, more opportunities. Joarte, having the least, created, by far, the most blatant.
Carlos França's ineffective finishing prevented us from winning the game. This game had 2 GR at the game level: excellent.
Two notable situations in the game:
1st - The non-expulsion of Carlos França, when he committed a foul against Israel, who were isolated, as evidenced by the Sport TV summary and highlighted by its reporter.
2nd - Expulsion of our player Manuel Azevedo.
We were very strong, physically and mentally, and so, at a time in the game where these factors are decisive, I think we would win the game.
For the excellent game, the spectacle, the emotion, the correctness of all the players (contrary to what I have already read), congratulations to the sport and, essentially, to the two teams.
My team, for what it did in the 2nd half of the championship and also in this game, proved that it is one of the good teams in this championship.
Freixieiro, with the quality they have demonstrated, has proven what a good team they are. A team to take into account for next season, more ambitious and with more aspirations.
Congratulations to Correio da Manhã for the victory, in a competition that could have been won by any of the 4 teams.
P.S. Excellent organization. Very well received. Congratulations to Nisa.
