Vila-Condense team has drawn in the last challenges, and despite the victory escaping for seven consecutive rounds, Luís Freire notes that his team "has improved in results, performances and consistency of play". "Until the ninth round we had six defeats, and now, after 18 games, we have nine. This series always scoring, and in difficult fields, shows that we are improving. We have to continue to have this capacity to fight and unite to seek more points", said the Rio Ave coach. Despite being the team with the most draws in the championship [14], Luís Freire guarantees that this is not a strategy outlined, assuming that all games are prepared to win. "We cannot confuse results with the team's intention. Whatever the opponent, we play to win. We are an offensive team, which presses high, which does not hide. We have all the behaviors to win, if it were not so we would have more defeats than draws", analyzed Freire. The coach of Vila-Condenses recognized the demand that this commitment to the Minhotos will have for his team, but believes that Rio Ave "will have the capacity to play good football" to overcome the opponent. "We know that Gil Vicente also needs to score, it is a team that plays good football, it is not defensive or expectant or kicks forward. It has good players, it is well worked. We know what we will have ahead", he analyzed. For this challenge, the coach of Vila-Condenses will not be able to count on midfielder Amine, defender Miguel Nóbrega, both injured, nor with forward Boateng, who will have to serve a suspension. "We always want everyone available, but this group has given good answers. The players who come in have been very good and that gives us a lot of confidence", completed Luís Freire. The coach will also not be able to guide the team from the bench, in this challenge, for having seen the fifth yellow card in the previous round match [goalless draw against Boavista] and will be replaced by assistant Nuno Silva. "Our technical team has been working together for 12 years. We have been through this several times, and we have always been in tune. In addition, we have a group of players who have been with us for three seasons, they know us well. There is a lot of confidence in our connection", concluded Luís Freire. Rio Ave, 14th classified with 26 points, receives Gil Vicente this Saturday, 11th with 28, in a match scheduled for 3:30 pm, which will be refereed by Gustavo Correia, from the Porto Football Association.
