"These six finals are against opponents of our size and with our goals. It gives us greater possibilities of achieving what we want. It's positive that these are the opponents we have ahead of us. Rio Ave is a more structured club, but we have the fans, José Gomes, our attitude and organization. We feel that we have favorable points, which can only happen if we put them into practice. We will have to be superior and win, going into the field with all our ambition", he expressed.

In the first round, the Amadora and Vila Condenses teams drew 1-1, and since both are fighting to stay in the league, an advantage in the direct confrontation could prove to be important, but Sérgio Vieira pointed out the team's behaviors.

"The game is very important, it's three points at home, we have to fulfill our goals in terms of individual and collective behaviors. The final result is only a consequence of our behaviors. If we don't have them, we won't achieve what we want. We are going to focus a lot on making the result positive for us", stated the coach, in the press conference preview.

Brazilian defender Mansur is serving a suspension, but Sérgio Vieira may, on the other hand, be able to count on João Reis, Keliano and Rodrigo Pinho, who have returned from injury, with forward Gustavo Henrique being the only one on the medical report.

"Rio Ave is a difficult team, due to its structure, project, Luís [Freire]'s time there or the quality of the individual and collective work. We consider it to be a difficult duel and, to win, we have to be superior. We have identified the individual and collective aspects that characterize Rio Ave well. We have to focus exclusively on our behaviors and on what we have to do. If we are superior in all aspects, we will certainly be happy tomorrow [Sunday]", emphasized the coach.

Back in the starting lineup in the last round, in the visit to Moreirense (2-2), in which he even scored one of the 'tricolor' team's goals, Brazilian forward André Luiz was also present in the preview, in which he addressed the future, after the loan from Flamengo.

"I don't decide anything. I'm here until the end of the season. I'm an Estrela da Amadora player until the end and, while I'm here, I'm going to dedicate myself to the maximum. The rest will come through my agents", said the player, who has scored four goals in 22 matches.

Estrela da Amadora, 15th place, with 27 points, will host Rio Ave on Sunday, 12th, with 29, starting at 3:30 pm, at Estádio José Gomes, in Amadora, in a match of the 29th round of the I League, refereed by Luís Godinho, from the Évora Football Association.
