João Paulo Silva plans to start playoff against Guimarães

After a regular phase that the CAB has fulfilled with great dignity, overcoming several limitations that conditioned the provision of the team at various times, the moment of the ‘playoff’ has come. The opponent of the Friends in the first round is the team of Guimarães, a competitive and well-directed squad that has high ambitions in the race. The first two games between the teams will be played on Saturday and Sunday at the opponent's house. The third and fourth games will be played in Funchal, with the fifth, if necessary, to be played again in Guimarães. The CAB's Official Website reached the address of João Paulo Silva, coach of the Friends, and asked him for a preview of the clashes this weekend. Here's your words: “With the entrance of the playoffs comes the most important moment of the season. We said from the beginning that this was one of our great goals. Let’s face Guimarães in the first round to the best of five games.” “We have been working with some intensity to ensure good participation in this playoff. Let us make it very clear that we have the ambition to move on to the next round, and for that to happen we must focus first on the two games this weekend. The Guimarães team presents a very effective set of players in various areas of the game. However, we will rely on our arguments to counter these strengths and continue with good cohesion at the level of our offensive resources.” “We aim to win at least one of the two games in Guimarães, thus guaranteeing the home factor. Although it is a time of great responsibility, participation in playoffs is also the most enjoyable competitive phase. It is a moment of great decisions.”
