João Paulo Silva previews Final 8 of the Portuguese Cup

As of Thursday, the men's team of the CAB will be playing the finals of the Portuguese Cup. The competition, which takes place in Fafe, will bring together the eight teams for this stage of the competition. Theoretically, the CAB stayed in a group that, at the outset, presents better chances of passage, because it does not include Benfica and Guimarães, teams that are in the top of the classification at the moment. However, Friends will have to be in their utmost concentration to ensure the victories that are needed to reach the final. On the eve of the match to the north of the country, the CAB Official Site reached the talk with João Paulo Silva, coach of the Friends, and asked him for a preview of the games. Here's your words: “Participating in the high points of the time was from the beginning one of the goals of our team. This Final at 8 happens at a time when we are still recovering some players but they begin to reveal again a good connection. We are naturally very motivated and with good expectations to face the Oliveirense team. This will be a departure that will certainly have its difficulties. Both teams have a very broad knowledge of how to play and the necessary adaptations in defensive aspects.” “We go to this high point with the conviction that we will do everything to go through each of the phases. We want to make it clear that the CAB fights for victory by showing at all times the collective ambition that will allow us to win. We want to play three games and for this to happen the requirement will be very high and surpassed only by team cohesion in the performance of offensive and defensive aspects. There is no possible path other than that of the Union.”
