Vasco Botelho da Costa, coach of Moreirense, speaking in the press room at Estádio D. Afonso Henriques, after the defeat (1-0) against Vitória. The coach says that his team played a “fantastic” game, only failing in “decision making”. Game analysis «Vitória was better after the goal. At the beginning of the second half we didn't have so much sharpness, Vitoria continued without being dangerous. We played a fantastic game. Stjepanovic was fantastic this week, working in a position that isn't his, he had a fantastic game apart from the penalty, which isn't his mistake, they're mistakes back there that shouldn't happen. We entered from the inside, from the outside, our biggest sin was making a decision at the last moment. We clearly understood Luís' strategy, which was to force our defensive line, assuming our limitations. We controlled it very well. I can't point anything out to the team, maybe I point out more to myself, we played a great game, we weren't playing in any stadium, nor against any team, the abnormality is that Vitória is behind Moreirense, just recently they beat FC Porto, Sporting and Sp. Braga, it's not just any team». The club's DNA is to find solutions? «We usually set up the line of five defending on the right and today we set up on the left. We opted for this simpler adjustment on the left, but in practice it didn't change anything, normally it's 4x4x2 and when we have to close to five it's the Travassos that does it. We played a very good game with the ball and without the ball we did well until the goal. We have been champions, we have no problems going to duels, first ball and second ball. Our DNA is to be versatile. Vitória really likes to press and we don't inhibit ourselves». Are your aspirations for fifth place intact? «The aspiration is for the market to close, to stabilize the group. The Moreirense project is a changing project, we had a lot of people leaving, people coming in, which requires adaptation. Our aspirations are simple: 35 points. We finished this game with the same points. My focus is to analyze this game and prepare for the game with Gil Vicente».
