I’m focusing on working as hard as I can here to be prepared for the start of the competition.”
The Blue and Whites’ player is happy with the team: “There are a lot of young people combined with more experienced players; which makes a good team. I’m very positive about the season ahead.” With regards to the new coach, Antunes adds: “We all want to show him what we can do in order to get the opportunity to play, which is good thing.”
He also highlights the importance of the fans’ support: “It’s crucial that our fans are so loyal and supportive of the team, it really gives us a boost to play the best football we can and achieve as much as possible. Every player wants to play a brilliant match every week for the fans to enjoy; their support is extremely important to us.”
