Ian Cathro, Estoril coach, analyzes the 4-1 victory against Alverca in the 16th round of the League: Analysis of the triumph over Alverca «We cannot forget that we played against a good team, very solid and with a very dynamic offensive game. We managed to grow during the first minutes and realize the attitude we needed for the game. After some time, the team noticed that more moments of acceleration were needed and we concluded our actions. If I have to highlight something, it is the ability to know how to manage, know how to win and know how to achieve a positive result. Maintain intensity and aggression against the ball at key moments to maintain control of the game as much as possible. I think this is a very important step in our growth. The ability of this group of players to overcome various moments of frustration and difficulty is a great success for the group. I'll never forget that we played on a field that wasn't even big enough for cows and we had a game on a FIFA date. We did it and it’s over, we are now improving together, producing a very competent game and working well.” Lacximicant injury «Yes, André suffered a muscle injury in the last game and will be out for some time. We still have to understand the extent of the problem, but he is injured.” Estoril's last game in 2025 and looking to the future «In the last two games the team showed high concentration and great commitment, with greater defensive solidity. We want to improve in everything, what we don't want is to start conceding fewer goals and forgetting that we also have to score. I feel that the last two games show that we are not perfect, but the way the group is working gives us reasons to believe that maybe we can grow and improve a little faster.”
