Tom Van de Looi: "Teams look at us differently now, we have to work harder"

Record28 August 2026 at 18:37

The Famalicão midfielder, Tom Van de Looi, spoke about the differences the team feels this season compared to last season. According to the player, opponents now look at Famalicão differently, which forces the team to work harder to maintain the same results.

Van de Looi acknowledges that the team needs to adapt to this new reality, where opponents no longer underestimate Famalicão as they perhaps did in the previous season. This change in perception by other clubs requires an additional effort from the team.

Before the derby against Gil Vicente, the player praised the rival team, showing respect for the opponent. This game is important in the context of the competition and both teams are seeking good results.

The 24-year-old Dutch midfielder is an important piece in Famalicão's tactical scheme, which tries to maintain the consistency demonstrated in the previous season, adapting to the team's new status in Portuguese football.
