A win is essential - OrlandoAcademica still searching for first victory When the Liga resumes this weekend, Academica will host Belem club Belenenses and for central defender Orlando, a win is vital for the Coimbra side's aspirations and, more importanly, their confidence.
The Estudantes are at the wrong end of th table, with only a single point, and the team knows that they have to switch their fortunes around in a hurry. Team captain Orlando knows that the sooner his side are able to pick up more points, the better the outlook will be for the entire squad, but adds that the team have been severely punished for minor lapses in concentration. "A victory (against Belenenses) will be important to give the rest of the group strength. Obviously, pressure and anxiety will exist, but we must be able to control that." "The team collectively have to share some of the blame, but it has been the individual errors that have cost us the most," explained the stopper Orlando went further and added that Academica are not the same team they were last year as the squad has undergone some changes in personnel which may be a reason why the team has not performed as of late. by Marco Pereira Add your comment |
