The results confirm the thesis of the coaches: to beat the Dinamo Zagreb was no longer needed, but more desire, more spirit. And if the Fonseca caresses did not work and not even Conceiçao’s hard fist can only mean that the problem is not on the bench. To remove the suspicion that it is on the pitch, and among the players, the team has a great chance available: to make a great performance in the derby.
