Custódio Castro, Alverca coach, foresees a visit to Tondela for the 22nd round of the League. The game is scheduled to start at 8:45 pm this Friday: Preview of the game with Tondela — I foresee a very difficult game against a team that has improved defensively and is coming off draws against two good teams (Benfica and Estoril), with two good games. And they also seem like good results to me. We expect a game of maximum difficulty. We have to be an aggressive team, with mentality, to be able to bring the three points to Alverca.” Alverca's basic principles «The Benfica game is over, but I think that in general Alverca is a personalized team. What we cannot miss is the identity we had in previous games. What we are has to stay on the field.” «Achieving three points is our main objective. We are prepared. We have to be an aggressive team, which knows what it's going for. Mentality, culture and competitive availability are key. These values are non-negotiable at Alverca.» Casualties in Alverca Lincoln (castigado), Tomás Mendes, Stéphane Diarra and Sabit Abdulai (lesionados).
