Carvalhal: "When you're winning 1-0, you have to give the opponent signs that you're there to score the second"

Coach Carvalhal commented on his Famalicão team's performance in the match against Estrela. The manager expressed satisfaction with what he saw in the first half of the match, praising the players' performance during that period.

However, Carvalhal regretted the second half of the game, considering that the team showed less connection and intensity compared to the first half. The manager believes the team failed to maintain the same level of play throughout the entire match.

In his analysis, Carvalhal emphasized the importance of giving signs to the opponent when leading 1-0. The coach argued that the team needs to demonstrate the intention to score the second goal, rather than just trying to defend the minimal advantage. According to the manager, this approach is fundamental to controlling the game and avoiding surprises.
