Ian Cathro, Estoril coach, speaking at the press conference after the 4-2 victory against V. Guimarães, on the 19th round of the League. Magic formula in the second part «There wasn't a big difference. I think there were some necessary adjustments in our defensive process, namely in the defensive organization when the team was positioned lower on the field, so as not to allow them to repeat the side and isolate crossing situations so often. I think we suffered a little from that in the first half. It was necessary to adjust in this sense and just ensure that we had the distances between us that we like to have, and then enter into the various dynamics that we have with the ball. There's nothing special about that, but we knew that it was very important to raise the level of intensity and aggression and that, as we want to grow as a team and increasingly have a team more capable of not only competing, but also winning, it was very important that 1-2 didn't become 1-3. So, the defensive moment and control of these situations were important. I think the team showed that extra attention in that sense.” Lominadze upset at half-time «I don't know, I went inside. I can only talk a little about this player. He's a player with different characteristics, I think he has a lot of potential. This is someone we are going to help. He is outside his country for the first time, in a completely different football context. He is someone who his colleagues really like and support. It sounds like I'm talking as if there is some drama, and there isn't. He's fine.” Xeka's return to the pitch «I know he's someone very important to the group, he's one of the captains, he's someone I like a lot too. After saying this we will still have problems, because he also talks a lot, but it is important for us. I think one of the things we wanted to do here, in addition to trying to help the club gain more stability, was to get, from my point of view, the balance of the squad right and have more players with experience to help the young talents that we also have. He plays an important role in all of this. He's coming back, he needs more time to find his intensity again, because he's a player who understands the game, has quality, but he's also a player who adds intensity to the game. You need time for that. We have to take it slow and try to make good decisions regarding reintegration, charges and all of that to help him. But it's an important moment to have a player like this return. Everyone knows, and we move on.” Estoril's offensive dynamics «I saw our team on the field. I saw what I see every day, I saw what we work on every day: intensity, quality, combination, occupying space, attacking space, in one way or another. I saw that and felt our team, especially in the second half. I also saw signs of growth when we already have a positive result and I see the team becoming more and more comfortable at that moment. I will never forget last season's game at home with Farense, winning 2-0 and drawing 2-2. And I won't forget this season's game at home with Moreirense, winning 3-1 and drawing 3-3. This is not to take away credit from the opponent, because the other team also scored their goals, but I felt that perhaps we were not prepared to manage that moment and feel comfortable with that result. We couldn't maintain our game. I think that, in the last few games, we are showing that we have managed to turn the page a little and enter another phase, of a team that is increasingly closer to knowing how to win. This may be the last step for this group. And after taking that step, we’ll soon see.” Estoril is the third best attack, but it almost always suffers «I have spoken many times about the fact that we want to improve in all areas. I also said that we are not going to lock ourselves in a room and think that we have to concede fewer goals and, therefore, attack less to have more stability at the back. Let's not do it that way. We will accept the responsibility of trying to improve even more on the offensive side and, obviously, much more on the defensive side. I think today we played against a good team, and they will create situations, because this is football, the ball moves and these things happen. I haven't seen the footage of the first goal yet, so I can't comment. If there was a goal with a player on the ground, I'll look at it later and, if I see you again, I can give my opinion. The other goal is a moment of high quality from a talent that was on the field. I don’t feel like it was a bad game, or a bad game defensively.”
