Álvaro Pacheco, coach of Casa Pia, in the aftermath of the game with AVS, from the 19th round of the League, which ended in a 3-3 draw: Game analysis «With the state of the weather and the pitch, Casa Pia had a very good approach to the game. In a first half playing against the wind, we were balanced in defense and lacked the ability to get out, which wasn't easy. AVS' direct play made it difficult, but we played a very intelligent game and could have made it 2-0, thanks to Tiago Morais.” «We knew that there would be more space in the second half, with more ball and that we could start to connect the game more, playing on the wings and trying shots at the far post. That’s how we made it 2-0 and even reached 3-0 without AVS creating any opportunities.” AVS Recovery on Marker «Afterwards, the team disconnected a bit. Even when AVS was in disbelief, we made collective mistakes and let them enter the game. That made us uneasy, nervous, but I think it's unfair to concede the goal in the last play of the game, we deserved to have won the three points and we were frustrated by that.” «The anxiety about not having won (at home) was clear. The team needs points, we really wanted to get back to winning ways here, against a direct opponent.” José Fonte injury «I don't stick to excuses, I focus on solutions, but, yes, I think that José Fonte will remain absent for five to six weeks.»
