After the defeat against Sporting (2-3)Matheus Oliveira, the scorer of the Algarve’s two goals, spoke to Sport TV in a quick interview. “It’s difficult to play with a goal difference from the 20th minute. I think Varense showed our strength at home. We fought until the end, and we didn’t get the result we wanted. The important thing is that we gave everything and fought. It’s about keeping our heads up and accepting the positive and the negative. In the next match.” He continued, praising the behavior of the Algarve team: “Today we fought against everything and everyone. Our players ran a lot. We knew that with one less player it is difficult, especially against a team like Sporting, very good technically. We tried everything, we got the draw. It was important to get a point. We tried… The lesson we learned today is that no matter who we play against, with 10, 9 or 11 [jogadores]We are fighting.”

When asked about free-kick goals, Mateus Oliveira admitted: “It’s training, a lot of training. I train them a lot. Free-kicks are my trait, and the people who work with me know that. I was able to score those goals.” “Two goals, but I would trade them for a win. I am happy with the group’s performance. We left with our heads held high. Everyone saw what we did today. Congratulations to Sporting. We will fight hard in the next match.”
