Europe still a possibiltiy - Paulo JorgeMidfielder retains hope for a Europa League berth With three rounds left to go in the Liga Sagres, Maritimo are on the cusp of qualifying for one of the continent's competitions, although the team realises they will need a little help along the way.
The verde-rubros currently occupy 7th place in the tables and are only three points back of Vitoria Guimaraes for the final Europa League spot. The victory against Olhanense over the weekend certainly helped the Madeira side's cause, but they will hope that both Guimaraes and Nacional slip in their quests also. "Everything is still open, despite us knowing that it does not only depend on us to qualify for Europe," declared Paulo Jorge. "In any case, against Olhanense we clearly demonstrated that we have a good team." "(Against Rio Ave) it will be a difficult match as they are a very organised team and who have a very good coach (Carlos Brito). But Maritimo are confident in their ability to earn a victory." by Marco Pereira Add your comment |
