Statements by César Peixoto, coach of Gil Vicente, in the press room at Estádio do Dragão, after the defeat against FC Porto (3-0), in the 19th round of the League: «We knew that FC Porto would come out strong in the first 15 minutes and we held on very well. We created one situation or another, it was a balanced first half, FC Porto ended up scoring a goal in a detail, from a penalty. At halftime we talked, we made the team more aggressive, we were more relaxed with the ball. We started better than FC Porto in the second half, there was the free kick in which Luís put the ball against the post. The team was doing well, looking for a draw, but after the expulsion, at 70m, it was another completely different game. We haven't stopped having our identity and that's what makes me happy about the game. In a difficult environment, even with one down, the team didn't get disorganized or lose its head. Until 70 it was a balanced game. Then it was another game. Playing against FC Porto is already difficult, with a penalty and an expulsion everything becomes even more difficult.” About the expulsion of Martín Fernández “He knows that no one will point the finger at him. I've already seen the pitch. It was completely unintentional. He didn't see the FC Porto player [Thiago Silva]. The group will hug you. The non-use of Carlos Eduardo «Carlos Eduardo was injured. The game was not suitable for those who came back from injury. Martín's entry meant we could be aggressive in the first phase of pressure. We wanted to steal the ball and jump on top and pull FC Porto further back. The effect was not what we wanted. Justification of initial options «Froholdt and Gabri Veiga make central-lateral diagonals. And Santi has a different tempo and characteristics that Luís Esteves doesn't have. The most aggressive Santi up front. Luís doesn't have the characteristics to chase midfielders. Our midfielders tried to block the diagonals of Porto's midfielders. We were a compact, aggressive team, wanting to have the ball. We were missing some connection.”
