Coach João Gião spoke after Nacional's home defeat 2-3 against Estrela da Amadora, in a match of the fourth round of the I Liga. The result represents a bad start to the season for the Madeira team.
João Gião revealed that the team faced difficulties related to viral outbreaks that affected the squad during the period before the match. This situation is said to have conditioned the team's preparation for the confrontation.
Estrela da Amadora thus managed an away victory at Estádio da Madeira, demonstrating the ability to exploit the difficulties faced by their opponents. This defeat worsens Nacional's position in the standings.
With these statements, João Gião sought to explain his team's performance, suggesting that the health problems within the group had a direct impact on the performance shown during the match.
