This year’s first competitive match is ahead of us, which will be on our home pitch, in front of our supporters. I want us to win by all accounts, but not only win, but by playing well. There is no such thing as an easy or hard match in football. We cannot talk about an easy game, especially when the opponents have a new manager. All of their players will want to prove themselves, that they have a place in the side. I am counting on a hard match on the whole. Those things, which we practiced at the training camp, are the things I would really like to see from the team." - commented José Gomes before the league cup game.
